Slow image rendering on screen transition with backgroung image

[rrajasek92]

I have an app that has an image as a background and am seeing a white page when navigating between stack components while the image loads. Several sources say that this issue can be fixed by delving into AppDelegate.m and altering some properties in there, but because I'm using expo I am unable to access these files. Is there a way to get to these files when using expo? If not, is there any other way to help improve the rendering speed? I've also tried scaling down the image to as low as 100kb with little improvement. It's a local file so it shouldn't be taking too long to load, and regardless I've tried preloading the image in an async function, so it seems like the rendering of the image itself is slow.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Are you experiencing this in release mode?

Yes it happens in release mode too. Forgot to mention but it only happens in iOS, it works perfectly in Android in both release and dev mode
