Versions

• Android:
• iOS: 16.6.1
• react-native-modal: 13.0.1
• react-native: 0.72.4
• react: 18.2.0

Description

After upgrading to Expo 49, Modal no longer propagating press events to the children components. I swapped out the react-native-modal Modal with the react native Modal and the press events are working again.

Reproducible Demo

I've experienced something similar on React Native 0.72.7, and the latest, when putting a react-navigation stack navigator in a modal. The only resolutions were:

• Break out navigation items to use presentation: "modal" (seems more idiomatic)
• Downgrade to a specific set of versions for react-navigation and react-native-screens. Don't know the exact versions off the top of my head.

I'm hoping the above is useful, and maybe relevant? If not, then freely ignore!
