Crash on iOS: Attempt to unmount a view which has a different index

No source files, tests, or reproducible repository are identified. Start by reproducing the crash while scrolling an iOS React Native app using LegendList with view recycling, using the reported library and React Native versions; done means the unmount/index crash is reliably reproduced and no longer occurs under the same scrolling scenario.

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• I tested using a supported version of react native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Steps to reproduce

Not sure what exactly is the step to reproduce, we use legendlist with recycling so perhaps it's the reason? But this is the first time i had this crash.
