Showing a native iOS alert before bootsplash hides prevents future "hide"s from working

💻 My environment

• react-native-bootsplash version: 2.2.4
• react-native version: 0.61.5
• Platform: iOS
• OS version: 13.x
• Device: iPhone (any)
• Simulator: yes + actual device
• Xcode version: 11.6

🕵️‍♂️ Reproducing the issue

First, thank you so much for this library! It’s really been great to use.

I’ve just run into an issue where showing a native iOS alert (react-native’s Alert.alert) before hiding bootsplash (BootSplash.hide()) prevents the splash from hiding correctly in the future (and also dismisses the Alert in the process).

Here are some screen recordings to illustrate the problem:

Showing an alert before the splash is hidden:

Removing the alert completely:

Delaying the alert until after the splash is hidden:

I haven’t yet verified behavior on Android.

It seems like this could be vaguely related to #100 and taken care of by the rewrite in 3.0, but I’m just speculating.

Here are the gifs attached as .mov files in case the gifs don’t come through properly: splash_recordings.zip

@sameterdem The current implementation correctly dismiss the splash screen UIViewController instance: https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash/blob/3.0.0/ios/RNBootSplash.m#L180

This issue seems related to the Alert module itself: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/f319ff321c4b7c0929b99e3ebe7e1ce1fa50b34c#diff-56beca6ee071cdd162c269ce765ab12d5af8c8c0ca840bca1e9d1f59e9fab790 (read the commit description)

It is not shipped yet, but will probably be in the 0.64

@a-eid It is. I released it this afternoon.
