[] crashes on Android (New Architecture + Hermes) with selectionLimit: 1

Using react-native-image-picker on Android with the New Architecture + Hermes. When calling launchImageLibrary with selectionLimit: 1, the app crashes immediately with:

com.facebook.react.common.JavascriptException:
Error: Exception in HostFunction: Could not enqueue microtask 
because they are disabled in this runtime, js engine: hermes
setimmediate@1:235518

Workaround that works:

Declaring options as any and setting selectionLimit: 2 (then only using assets[0]), which mirrors the pattern used internally for multi-image selection:

const options: any = {
  mediaType: 'photo',
  selectionLimit: Platform.OS === 'android' ? 2 : 1,
  // ...rest of options
};

launchImageLibrary(options, (response) => {
  const imageUri = response.assets?.[0]?.uri;
  // ...
});

What doesn't work:

selectionLimit: 1 with typed ImageLibraryOptions → crash

selectionLimit: 0 → works but allows unlimited selection

selectionLimit: 2 with typed ImageLibraryOptions → still crashes (the any type seems to matter)

Questions:

Why does selectionLimit: 1 specifically trigger the native Android Photo Picker instead of the internal RN selector?

Why does using options: any vs ImageLibraryOptions affect the behavior at runtime? Is there some transformation happening in the typed path?

Is there a cleaner fix than this workaround?
