The current version of React Native has a timer warning issue on android. The app functions perfectly fine, but if you want to fix on user side:
- Navigate to your node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Core/Timers/JSTimers.js file.
- Look for the variable MAX_TIMER_DURATION_MS
- Change its value to 10000 * 1000
