Crash after upgrading to 0.49 & CxxBridge

[almostintuitive]

Description

Detox causes the app to crash after upgrading to react-native 0.49 & to use CxxBridge.

Steps to Reproduce

1. have a working react-native 0.48.4. project that runs perfectly with detox (using Cocoapods)
2. upgrade to react-native 0.49, use CxxBridge in your Podfile
3. run detox build & detox test

The app is crashing when detox tries to start it (attached stacktrace below), but it's completely fine if I manually open it in the simulator.

[almostintuitive]

I'm currently trying to reproduce this issue while using BatchedBridge, which was deprecated in 0.49.

[almostintuitive]

Confirmed, it's only happening with using CxxBridge, which is mandatory (at least there's a deprecation warning when using 0.49 or newer).
I can run the app with detox when using RCTBatchedBridge.

Is anyone using detox with Rn 0.49 (+ CxxBridge) successfully?

Please use the search functionality so you can avoid opening duplicate issues. #279

Please add your details there, such as what Detox version you are using.

[LeoNatan]

Our own running of the latest Detox with RN 0.49 seems to work (CC @rotemmiz ). Bear in mind, we don’t use CocoaPods. Maybe you have made some strange combination. For instance, CxxBridge has been the default in a while on installs using npm but it seems it’s not the case with CocoaPods?
