Bug Report: @react-three/fiber Canvas Not Working in Expo 52 (Web, iOS, Android)

Description

The Canvas component from @react-three/fiber (version 9.1.0) does not work in Expo 52 across web, iOS, or Android.

Reproduction

I created an [Expo Snack](https://snack.expo.dev/@qalqi/threejs) that demonstrates the issue. The expected behavior is for the Canvas to render a 3D scene, but nothing appears.

Expected Behavior

• The Canvas should render correctly across all platforms (Web, iOS, and Android).

Actual Behavior

• The Canvas fails to display any content, with clear error Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'S') Evaluating @react-three/fiber.js.

Environment

• Expo SDK: 52
• @react-three/fiber: 9.1.0
• Platforms: Web, iOS, Android

Additional Information

• The issue persists even with basic configurations.
• Rolling back to an earlier version of @react-three/fiber may resolve the issue (to be tested).
• Could this be related to Expo's WebGL implementation?

Would appreciate any insights or fixes! 🚀
