Hey! At the moment I am investigating this issue, and I was able to reproduce this issue also on the NewDot app:

RPReplay_Final1725437954.MP4

It seems that the workaround would be to timeout the value returned by useColorScheme, because the problem is known, and still exists. There is a chance that the problem will disappear when we enable bridgelessMode, but at the moment I think the timeout would be the best solution.

Nice, did you want to take this issue or are we going to assign to someone internal?
