Expected Result:

The Android hardware back button should work when pressed.

Actual Result:

When you open the settings page the first back button press is ignored (as if an extra invisible page was added to the page stack), but the second and third back button press work as expected.

Action Performed:

1. Open the settings modal
2. Press the back button

Platform:

Android

Notes/Photos/Videos:

• This issue is caused by a bug in react-navigation and must be fixed in that repo first.
• See: https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation/issues/9364
• Workarounds will not be accepted.

@parasharrajat seems like an npm cli version issue. Some reference issues https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2000 and https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2119.

@parasharrajat yes force upgrading this dependancy is a way of doing this. But in this case we will have to perform a full testing cycle on this app to be sure about all the issues which we might face.

I think this full testing is not in the scope of this issue. So I will try to force upgrade the dependancy and share my results which are related to this issue.
