Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

### Description of the bug

The CarPlay example works on the iOS 18 simulator, but on iOS 26.4.1 and above the CarPlay crashes immediately when the CarPlay scene launches. However the app process does not crash. Apple’s CarPlayTemplateUIHost crashes with doesNotRecognizeSelector in CPSMapTemplateViewController _updateShareButtonVisibility / _configureNavigationBarShareButton.

I reduced the setup to a bare minimum CPMapTemplate() with no Google map content, and it still crashes, which suggests an Apple CarPlay Simulator regression rather than an issue in the React Native integration.

Needs further investigation.
