Editor crashes when the content of a synced pattern is updated about gutenberg-mobile HOT 2 CLOSED

After investigating the issue, I found out the culprit. The crash is related to footnotes, which it's logic is part of the updates made in the hook useEntityBlockEditor. Let me share the trace of this logic to better explain the issue:

1. Hook useEntityBlockEditor is used in the Provider component and in core/block (synced pattern):

   • Provider component
   • core/block

2. In useEntityBlockEditor, the function onChange updates footnotes. This function is triggered when there's an update in the block, for instance, when an attribute is updated.

3. However, it only processes footnotes when the meta property of the entity is defined. This is not the case for the majority of blocks, but it is for core/block.

4. As part of the footnotes logic, the function getFootnotesOrder calls getRichTextValuesCached.

5. At the same time, the function getRichTextValuesCached uses getRichTextValues.

6. getRichTextValues is a private API that is not exported in the native version:

   • Web version
   • Native version

Hence, the issue would be solved by simply exporting getRichTextValues.

Following wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS#22776 (comment), seems the issue can also be reproduced in Cover block.
