SafeAreaProvider interfering with native performance measure on Android

[cgerrard-pass]

Description

Hello, I've been struggling with this issue on Android, but not on iOS.

I'm trying to use react-native-performance to measure the starting time of my app. I'm able to access native start times in my app but as soon as the measurement is triggered from a component contained by SafeAreaProvider, I no longer receive any measurements.

I was able to create a minimal reproducible example here:
https://github.com/cgerrard-pass/PerfMRE

What I did in the example above is simply:

• create a react native project with 0.73.11
• create a hook that measures performance
• wrap my app in SafeAreaProvider
• see empty logs

If I remove SafeAreaProvider from App.tsx, the logs contain the measurements and are no longer empty.

# with SafeAreaProvider
 LOG  Running "PerfMRE" with {"rootTag":31}
 LOG  []
 LOG  []
 LOG  []
 LOG  []
# without SafeAreaProvider
 LOG  Running "PerfMRE" with {"rootTag":31}
 LOG  []
 LOG  [
  {
    "name": "nativeLaunchEnd",
    "entryType": "react-native-mark",
    "startTime": 21650442,
    "duration": 0
  }
]

I've created another issue on react-native-performance but I haven't received any answers.
oblador/react-native-performance#112

I can bump react-native-safe-area-context to a more recent version (but before v5) but I don't think it will change anything since I attempted doing that on my other project I'm running into issues with.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

FYI, I just bumped safe-area-context to 4.14.1 to use to most recent version supported on react-native 0.73, and the issue persists.

As a workaround, I choose to mark custom events where they had to be marked (in this case in GenericHome) and the calculation of the tti can be done in App.tsx which is outside the SafeAreaProvider that causes issues.
