Blank screen after opening a popup window

Bug description:

The Webview is failing to redirect after pressing a Pay button in a checkout process. The behavior of the button in a desktop browser is to open a popup window, that goes initially to an about:blank page and immediately redirects to the payments page.

In the Webview, after pressing the button, the Webview goes to the about:blank in the same tab (I guess this is expected into the Webview) but it doesn’t redirect to the payments page.

To Reproduce:

1. Open eBay Australia in the Webview

<WebView
  source={{uri: 'https://www.ebay.com.au/'}}
  onNavigationStateChange={(syntheticEvent) => {
    console.log(syntheticEvent);
  }}
/>

1. Pick any product and make all the checkout process until the Payment method.
2. Pick Afterpay method and then press the button Pay with Afterpay.

Expected behavior: After pressing the Pay with Afterpay button, the popup window should open the Afterpay page to proceed with the payment. I have noticed that this button works fine on other webpages.

Screenshots/Videos:

Environment:

• OS: iOS and Android
• OS version: All versions
• react-native version: 0.63.2
• react-native-webview version: Tested on 9.4.0 and 10.8.3 and I got the same result

Also tested on a new project and got the same result 😢
