[Sushant-Sardeshpande]

When attempting to use react native v8 with the react navigation drawer component, the app hangs on Android.

Environment:
OS: Android (SDK 34)
React Native: 0.73.9

Haven't used V8 for iOS but with Android been able to always reproduce this issue. Attached a link with the reproduction below.

Was trying do some debugging on this and realized that the issue might be stemming out of useSharedValue / useDerivedValue from react-native-reanimated used by the modern/drawer. When I comment these and load a an empty view it started showing but would run into an issue with worklets as it cannot modify those variables.
Hence, suspecting it has something to do with these functions not working well with v8.

Would appreciate if someone can look into the issue.
