Description

custom thumbImage stoped working after update to latest RN (not sure if problem is latest RN or enabling new arch).

Problem seem to be in RNCSliderComponentView.mm - loadImageFromImageSource is relying on bridge.

I am appending patch package generated by Cloude LLM to bypass this issue.

@react-native-community+slider+5.1.2.patch
