Expo SDK 52 react application: Method stuck when calling new Blob

I have an expo application where I receive an Uint8Array corresponding to an image which was serialized to bytes in kotlin native module and I want to convert this array to a blob so I can send it to an API endpoint via fetch with a POST request. When the event listener gets the object with the payload to send to the server, I noticed that the code wasn't getting executed. No exceptions appeared in the terminal nor in adb logcat.

Before trying to create a blob object from the Uint8Array, I was getting a base64 encoded image, however it caused oom after a few minutes of having the app running. So I need to work with the bytes directly.

Just to test what was happening, I replaced the new Blob(...) with a fixed array instead of using the payload coming into the event listener.

Something like this:

const b = new Blob([new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]).buffer]);console.log("Blob created");

And application stops there. If I remove that line where the Blob is created, then the log message below is displayed. Is there anything I'm missing when creating the blob. No errors are displayed... I am kind of lost.

NOTE: Same thing happens if .buffer is omitted in the creation of new Blob object. Also, this occurs when running on the android emulator.
