'ios Simulator standalone build loads empty screen

My react native application built for the simulator using expo build:ios -t simulator is completed without errors(just 1 warning about DatePicker)

Expo SDK version: 44

The home screen is loaded via React Navigation and everything seems to work fine in dev mode.. just that the standalone simulator build when dropped into the simulator ends up empty as shown simulator screenshot

There are no hints in the simulator logs either
