Alert used inside of react-native-modal-selector is being hidden while Modal Closes #165

Description

@Muirik

After updating my react-native expo app to SDK 42 I am noticing that the alert used inside of react-native-modal-selector is being hidden immediately, before the user has time to act. This only occurs in iOS - not on Android. I am using version 2.0.7 of react-native-modal-selector.

Specifically, I need the alert to remain open until the user has pushed one of the two buttons to make a selection. Right now if I navigate to a different tab I see that the alert is still open and visible, but within the tab where I first open the alert it disappears before the user has a chance to make a selection.

    <ModalSelector
      data={showSessionTypes(props.types)}
      onChange={async (option) => {
        if(
          RESTRICTED_SESSION_TYPES.includes(option.customKey) &&
          props.restrictedSessions.length > 0
        ) {
          Alert.alert(
            'Session already conducted',
            'Please ensure you are accessing the correct client.',
            [
              {
                text: 'OK',
                onPress: () => {},
                style: 'cancel',
              },
            ],
            {cancelable: false},
          );
          return;
        }
    />

NOTE: If I wrap the alert in a setTimeout the alert remains open/visible:

    setTimeout(() => {
       Alert.alert(
        'Session already conducted',
        'Please ensure you are accessing the correct client.',
         [
           {
             text: 'Cancel',
             onPress: () => {},
             style: 'cancel',
           },
           {
             text: 'Create Session',
             onPress: async () => {
               await createSession(option.customKey, props);
             },
           },
         ],
         {cancelable: false},
       );
     }, 510);

If this bug is unresolvable, is there an event I can wait for before loading the alert?
