* fix(ios): prevent KVO crash in HybridVideoPlayer.release()
Fix a crash that occurs when rapidly creating/destroying video players
(e.g., fast swiping through a FlatList of videos). The crash message is:
"Cannot remove an observer for the key path 'currentItem.status'"
Root cause:
When release() was called, it would set playerItem = nil and then
playerObserver = nil, which triggered the observer's deinit. However,
the KVO observers were still registered on the playerItem, causing
a crash when the system tried to remove them.
Solution:
1. Explicitly invalidate all KVO observers BEFORE changing any state
2. Change invalidatePlayerItemObservers() from private to internal
so it can be called from HybridVideoPlayer.release()
3. Skip self.player.replaceCurrentItem(with: nil) which was also
triggering the crash by changing currentItem while observers
were still active
This ensures clean KVO removal before any state changes that could
interfere with the observer lifecycle.
* refactor: address review feedback - clean up comments and reorganize release()
- Remove verbose KVO CRASH FIX comments
- Move observer invalidation calls to "Clear player observer" section
- Restore replaceCurrentItem(with: nil) after observer cleanup
* refactor: reorder cleaners
