Description
Hi team,
I'm encountering a crash when using KeyboardAccessoryView from react-native-ui-lib after upgrading React Native from RN 0.71 to RN 0.79.
📱 Environment
React Native: 0.79
react-native-ui-lib: 8.4.0
Platform: iOS 26.3
🧩 Description
When using KeyboardAccessoryView (e.g. for image picker panel like Messenger), the app crashes immediately when triggering the accessory view (e.g. tapping an icon to open image panel). (When the kbComponent prop is set to a key of a registered custom component)
This happens even when using the example code from the library.
🧪 Reproduction
Use KeyboardAccessoryView
Trigger it (e.g. open image picker panel)
App crashes immediately
Thanks for your great work on this library!
Looking forward to your guidance.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with KeyboardAccessoryView on React Native 0.79 and iOS, using the example setup and a kbComponent key for a registered custom component. Compare behavior before and after triggering the accessory view; done means the image-picker-style accessory opens without crashing under the reported environment.
