Research direction

Start with the RiveRendererView and RenderContextMetalImpl entries named in the Sentry stack trace, then try rendering the provided rive_home_screen.riv file in the Expo managed iOS app. Done means identifying and fixing the intermittent EXC_BAD_ACCESS during rendering, with the animation no longer crashing the app.
