## Description

When using @react-native-community/slider in an Expo project:

- The app works correctly in Expo Go / development build

- The app crashes immediately in an EAS preview / standalone build

- No JS error is shown; the app exits silently

This happens even with a minimal usage of the Slider component.

Commenting out the Slider component makes the preview build work again.

The issue appears to be that Expo Go includes the native module by default, while standalone builds require the package to be explicitly installed and prebuilt. This difference is not obvious and leads to a runtime crash.

## Reproducible Demo

```javascript
import React, { useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react";
import {
View,
Text,
StyleSheet,
Animated,
ActivityIndicator,
} from "react-native";
import Slider from "@react-native-community/slider";
import { useFormContext } from "react-hook-form";
import { colors, Fonts } from "@/constants/theme";
import CurrencyPicker from "@/components/CurrencyPicker";
import { FormTextInput } from "@/components/shared/FormTextInput";
import { CURRENCIES } from "@/utils/currencies";
import type {
Tier,
FormValues,
} from "@/types/donation/types";

type Props = {
tiers: Tier[];
paymentTab: "monthly" | "onetime";
isCheckingMinimum?: boolean;
helperText?: string;
};

export default function TierSlider({
tiers,
paymentTab,
isCheckingMinimum,
helperText,
}: Props) {
const { setValue, clearErrors, control } =
useFormContext();

const [index, setIndex] = useState(0);

const tier = tiers[index];
const opacity = useRef(new Animated.Value(1)).current;

const amountField =
paymentTab === "monthly" ? "monthlyAmount" : "oneTimeAmount";

const currencyField =
paymentTab === "monthly" ? "monthlyCurrencyId" : "oneTimeCurrencyId";

useEffect(() => {
Animated.sequence([
Animated.timing(opacity, {
toValue: 0,
duration: 120,
useNativeDriver: true,
}),
Animated.timing(opacity, {
toValue: 1,
duration: 180,
useNativeDriver: true,
}),
]).start();

setValue(amountField, String(tier.amount), {
shouldDirty: true,
shouldValidate: true,
});

clearErrors();
}, [index, tier.amount, amountField, setValue, clearErrors, opacity]);

if (!tiers || tiers.length === 0) {
console.error("DONATE_TIERS is empty!");
return null;
}
