How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

I use an expo development build with realm "@realm/react": "0.6.2", and "realm": "12.6.2"
along with RN version: "react-native": "0.72.7"
When ever I tried to load the JS bundle via expo development client, the bundle is stuck at "Downloading 100%".

On diving deeper, the following code in ReactRealm.mm seems to be stuck in a infinite loop causing JS event loop/thread to block indefinitely:

          while (s_currentJSThread && !s_currentJSThread.finished) {
            [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.1];
          }

Is there a known workaround or fix for this issue?
