[Due for payment 2026-03-09] [$250] Investigate expo-image caching issues on native mobile #83113
Description
Summary
Part of our App wider performance project
Native mobile platforms use expo-image and declare cachePolicy: memory-disk, yet we still show our loading UI and images take a while to appear.
Lets investigate why this is occurring and attempt to resolve.
Original discussion here. I believe expo image is being implemented as part of the FlashList migration task here.

This one is less aligned with your current work, so let me know if you'd rather I handed this issue to someone else.

@Julesssss It looks like it can be fixed with just one line: #83217
Can you please run ad-hoc builds and maybe also check on your device?
