AppState 'change' fires redundant 'active' when app is already active the first time the listener is added on Android iOS Prod

Description

On Android and iOS PROD when the AppState listener 'change' is added the very first time it automatically also fires the listener with nextState as "active" even though the app is already "active".

This issue occurs specifically on Prod and not Dev. On Dev it works as expected where the listener is not fired the first time it's added. listener is only fired the first time when the app goes to the background.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
The behavior should be the same with dev and prod where the listener does not automatically fire with 'active' when it's added the very first time.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new RN app with npx react-native init androidAppStateIssue
2. Add the AppState 'change' listener on a button click as follows

  const addAppStateListener = () => {
    // read 'AppState.currentState' to register current state on prod
    // comment, uncomment this console.log to see difference on prod
    console.log('INITIAL', AppState.currentState);

    AppState.addEventListener('change', nextAppState => {
      console.log('nextAppState', nextAppState);
    });
  };

return (
...
<Button title="addAppStateListener" onPress={addAppStateListener} />
)

3. Build on Android/iOS, generate apk/app and install on emulator/simulator (PROD).
4. Click the addAppStateListener button and notice that the listener is NOT automatically fired with "active" when the listener is added.
5. Comment the line console.log('INITIAL', AppState.currentState); and rebuild, re-install app.
6. Click the addAppStateListener button and notice that the listener IS automatically fired with "active" when the listener is added

まず React Native 0.74.3 の実装における AppState.addEventListener と AppState.currentState の動作を確認し、次にリンクされている androidAppStateIssue の例を使って、開発ビルドと本番ビルドの両方で問題を再現します。Android と iOS で最初のリスナー登録を追跡し、アプリがすでにアクティブな場合に、それを追加しても不要な active イベントが発行されないことを確認します。
