Devon Deonarine f319ff321c iOS: Update RCTAlertManager to use new RCTAlertController (#29295)
Summary:
This should fix https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/29082 and https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10471

Currently when an alert is being shown while a modal is being dismissed, it causes the alert not to show and In some cases it causes the UI to become unresponsive. I think this was caused by using RCTPresentedViewController to try and display the Alert the currently presented view. The View the Alert was going to be shown on is dismissed and the modal doesn't show. I implemented a new RCTAlertController to show the alert on top of the view, the modal being dismissed should now not interfere with the alert being shown.

## Changelog

[iOS] [Fixed] - Fixed showing Alert while closing a Modal

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/29295

Test Plan:
To recreate the bug:

1. npx react-native init Test --version 0.63.0-rc.1
2. Paste the following code into App.js

```javascript
/**
 * Sample React Native App
 * https://github.com/facebook/react-native
 *
 * format
 * flow strict-local
 */

import React from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Text,
  StatusBar,
  Modal,
  Alert
} from 'react-native';

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  const [visible, setVisible] = React.useState(false)

  const onShowModal = () => {
    setVisible(true)
  }

  onCloseBroken = () => {
    setVisible(false)
    Alert.alert('Alert', 'Alert won\'t show')
  }

  onCloseWorking = () => {
    setVisible(false)
    setTimeout(() => Alert.alert('Alert', 'Works fine'), 10)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />
      <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
        <Text onPress={onShowModal}>Show modal</Text>
      </SafeAreaView>
      <Modal animationType="fade" visible={visible} onRequestClose={onCloseWorking} >
        <View style={styles.container}>
          <Text onPress={onCloseBroken}>Close modal immediately</Text>
          <Text onPress={onCloseWorking}>Close modal with delay</Text>
        </View>
      </Modal>
    </>
  )
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'space-around',
  },
})

export default App

```

3. cd Test && npx react-native run-ios
4. Show the modal and click the `Close modal immediately` button

The first button doesn't show the alert, the second does because it gets rendered after the modal view is dismissed. After this commit, the alert always shows on top of every view properly. You can test by pointing the react native package to my branch by modifying the package json file like this

```
    "react-native": "https://github.com/devon94/react-native.git#fix-ios-modal"
```

I was unable to reproduce the case where it causes the UI to be responsive in the test app but was able to reproduce it in our react native app at work. I can provide a video later if needed but the code is too complex to simplify into a test case.

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.

  • Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
  • Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
  • Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
  • Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.

React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

Contents

📋 Requirements

React Native apps may target iOS 10.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.

🎉 Building your first React Native app

Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:

📖 Documentation

The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.

The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.

The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.

🚀 Upgrading

Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.

React Native releases are discussed in the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
