Duplicate tracks added to the TrackPlayer queue after the app is refreshed in a dev environment

The Bug When I refresh my app by pressing the R key on my console, the already existing tracks are added as duplicates to the TrackPlayer queue.

Steps To Reproduce This issue does NOT occur if the user closes the app and then opens it back up again. It specifically occurs when the app is refreshed through the console in a development environment. To reproduce the issue you can refresh the app by pressing the R key in your console, and after the app is done refreshing, load your tracks to the queue.

If for example I have 7 tracks in my queue, then refresh the app by pressing the 'r' key on my terminal, my queue will then look like this:

 LOG  • Existing track with index:  1
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  2
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  3
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  4
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  5
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  6
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  7
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  8 (duplicate of track with index 1)
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  9 (duplicate of track with index 2)
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  10 (duplicate of track with index 3)
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  11 (duplicate of track with index 4)
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  12 (duplicate of track with index 5)
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  13 (duplicate of track with index 6)
 LOG  • Existing track with index:  14 (duplicate of track with index 7)

The existing articles will then be tripled in the same manner if I refresh the app once more and add yet another track to the queue, and so on.
