Description

To start, I started seeing the following error when the user signs out:

"Uncaught Error: Rendered fewer hooks than expected. This may be caused by an accidental early return statement in React Hooks"

I tracked the error down to the following line of code in the ClerkContextProvider.js:

  React.useEffect(() => {
    return clerk.addListener((e) => setState({ ...e }));
  }, []);

Perhaps the listener is being skipped once during signout?

This issue randomly popped up over this past weekend without any code changes. This leads me to believe it either relates to a change at the iOS level or a backend change on the clerk side that is somehow detached from the version of clerk-expo (it happens in both the 0.10.6 and 0.19.22 clerk-expo versions)?

This issue seems to only impact native apps (I tested on iOS) - not web.

Steps to reproduce:

Wrap the app in the
Sign the user in
Log the user out with the useSignOut() hook

Expected behavior:

The user should sign out without any errors and be able to log back in. This is how it behaved for the past 6 months without issues.

Actual behavior:

The app will crash and trigger its error boundary with the aforementioned error message.
