Debugger: DevTools/Metro is disconnecting from the websocket if the app is backgrounded - was: `AppState.addEventListener('change')` on Android seems to suddenly stop working

Description

AppState.addEventListener('change' on Android seems to suddenly stop working.

Steps to reproduce

https://github.com/NorseGaud/expo-testing

npx expo run:android

Once up and running, background the app by switching to something like the Contacts app. Then, open a contact, create a contact, etc, and then come back. You won't see the active log. However, if you just background the app and don't do anything significant it will show active logs switching back.

Comienza con el reproductor obligatorio en github.com/NorseGaud/expo-testing y ejecuta npx expo run:android. Envía la aplicación al segundo plano, usa otra aplicación, vuelve y compara los logs de AppState con la conexión websocket de DevTools/Metro; se considera terminado cuando enviar la aplicación al segundo plano ya no impide los logs active esperados ni desconecta la conexión de depuración.
