Works fine here (both with main- and kroll-thread). Try to reinstall your app or reach out to the community via Slack or Stackoverflow for more questions.

I left out the forceSplashAsSnapshot must be set to true.

Thats a very important detail, hehe. In that case, it is a duplicate of TIMOB-26047 which already has a fix in place that you can use today. Cheers!
