Event channel stops working after react native reload

[luskin]

The following code block works just fine every time you reload the app:

function * syncAuth () {
  const channel = yield call(rsf.auth.channel)

  while (true) {
    const { user } = yield take(channel)
    console.log('User received: ', user)
  }
}

export default function * rootSagas () {
  yield fork(syncUserSaga)
}

HOWEVER if you want to delay the start of this process you cannot fork this from any other saga after any reload. It WILL work the very first time the app is launched but all subsequent reloads break:

function * initialize () {
  // ... a bunch of other app initialization stuff...
 fork(syncAuth)
  // ... more etc
}

function * syncAuth () {
  console.log(1)
  const channel = yield call(rsf.auth.channel)
  while (true) {
    console.log(2)
    const { user } = yield take(channel)
    console.log('User received: ', user)
  }
}

export default function * rootSagas () {
  yield fork(initialize)
}

The output of this is:

1
2

but the User received is never resolved.
