Summary

Hey, I have an Expo app that both uses this library for maps and Google Sign In.

If the map is initialized in one tab, then a user goes to a second tab and presses Sign In With Google, the app crashes.

Reproducible sample code

import { GoogleSignin, statusCodes } from '@react-native-google-signin/google-signin';

await GoogleSignin.hasPlayServices();
await GoogleSignin.signOut();
const response = await GoogleSignin.signIn();

Steps to reproduce

If the map is initialized in one tab, then a user goes to a second tab and presses Sign In With Google, the app crashes with the following error. I don't think the tab navigation is necessary. In my opinion, it's just a problem with the app going into some kind of a background mode because of the Google Sign as the error starts in com.rnmaps.maps.MapView.onPause

Expected result

The app not crashing.

Actual result

App crashing with

Same here on Android. It's enough to go to another app in task manager and back to our app with map on the screen and it will crash with same stack trace

Same here on Android, using versions
RNM > 1.22.0
RN > 0.78.2

same ish issue, but not using google sign in or expo

rn 0.76.9
rn maps 1.23.7
android api 35

reproduce:
launch app
access map
navigate to another app page
send app to background

app will stop responding
logcat displays similar to above - unable to pause… null pointer exception… com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.impl.bq.w()

Totally the same issue.
If don't open screen with map everything works as should, but after opening map, going back and try to send app to background - app crashes.
But at the same time sending the app to background while map screen is open doesn't crash the app.

Any methods of unmounting don't help so far
