[New Architecture] Error: Exception in HostFunction: <unknown>, js engine: hermes

[huszzsolt]

We are getting
Exception in HostFunction: <unknown>, js engine: hermes.

This happens on New Architecture only.

Steps to reproduce:

   npx @react-native-community/cli init test --version 0.79.5
   yarn add react-native-fbsdk-next

and replace index.js with:

import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import { Settings } from 'react-native-fbsdk-next';

Settings.setAppID('//facebookid//');
Settings.initializeSDK(true);

Settings.setDataProcessingOptions([], 0, 0);


AppRegistry.registerComponent("test", () => ()=>null);

Resulting on iOS:

This issue was noticed using Segment:

import { createClient } from '@segment/analytics-react-native';
import { FacebookAppEventsPlugin } from '@segment/analytics-react-native-plugin-facebook-app-events';

const segmentClient = createClient({
   .... 
   }
);

segmentClient.add({ plugin: new FacebookAppEventsPlugin() });  //  <<<< results in error

But it is reproducible on a new&clean app-build as described above on New Architecture only.

We got this error as recently as last week, ended up having to use the expo config plugin to set these:
Settings.setAppID('//facebookid//');
Settings.initializeSDK(true);

Settings.setDataProcessingOptions([], 0, 0);

I believe the issue still persists.
We use https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-react-native, which internally uses react-native-fbsdk-next, hence the resolution of this is out of our control.
