Description

### Before submitting a new issue

- [x] I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
- [x] I tested using a [supported version](https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-releases/blob/main/docs/support.md) of react native.
- [x] I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

### Bug summary

I am experiencing an issue where the LiquidGlassView renders correctly on the iOS Simulator (Debug mode) but fails on a physical device in Release mode (TestFlight).

On the physical device (iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 26), the glass view either fails to render the blur effect entirely or disappears intermittently.

Observation: The LiquidGlassView container effect is missing or not rendering.

```
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import { LiquidGlassView } from '@callstack/liquid-glass';

const ListItem = ({ title, onPress }) => {
return (



{title}



);
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
wrapper: {
flexDirection: 'row',
borderRadius: 34,
padding: 15,
marginBottom: 15,
justifyContent: 'space-between',
height: 56,
},
leftWrapper: {
flexDirection: 'row',
alignItems: 'center',
gap: 10,
},
title: {
fontSize: 15,
},
});

export default ListItem;
```
