Summary
When using native SVG which is currently animating and that component is unmounted without the animated prop ever becoming false, then the animation, which works recursively, is not cleaned up and will continue in the background. This change breaks the recursion loop when the component is unmounted.
This was found while running detox tests on a React Native application - this was causing the synchronisation engine to wait forever for the never-ending animation.
