In current implementation in Expo projects when you use plugin to init the SDK - it inits at the very start of the app, even before the App.tsx is loaded. As a result if you try to hide intercom with hideIntercom or setInAppMessageVisibility('GONE') - messages are still visible for a second or so as SDK inits prior to that.
The only way to avoid it is to manually init plugin in a separate native plugin, which is not optimal, especially if you don't have native plugins in the project and need to add a new one just for that.
I added initialize() method and an option to disable auto init via plugin.
