iOS 26 UI Components Not Rendering in TestFlight

Issue Summary: iOS 26 UI components are not visible in the Expo app when installed via TestFlight. All components render correctly in local builds or when running with expo run:ios.

Details:

The app is built using Expo managed workflow.

iOS 26-specific UI components do not appear in TestFlight builds.

The same components display correctly in local builds and simulators.

Test device: iPhone running iOS 26.1.

There are no crashes or runtime errors; only the components are missing.

This issue occurs only in TestFlight/release builds.

Expected Behavior: All iOS 26 UI components should render in TestFlight builds the same way they do in local builds.

Actual Behavior: Components fail to render or are completely missing.

Device Information:

Device: iPhone

iOS Version: 26.1

Distribution: TestFlight

Local Build: Working correctly

Additional Notes: This may be related to Expo release build optimization or iOS 26 SDK compatibility.
