It could be that the navigation modal you're using doesn't require FullWindowOverlay to render the magic modal on top of it. Have you tried rendering the modal on top without FullWindowOverlay?

Here's my fix

useEffect(() => {
        if (modals.length > 0) {
          setHasOpenOrAnimatingModals(true);
        } else if (hasOpenOrAnimatingModals) {
          const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
            setHasOpenOrAnimatingModals(false);
          }, ANIMATION_DURATION_IN_MS);
          return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
        }
      }, [modals.length, hasOpenOrAnimatingModals]);

and

const Overlay = fullWindowOverlayEnabled && hasOpenOrAnimatingModals && Platform.OS === "ios" ? FullWindowOverlay : React.Fragment;

@michael-pingo-ai It does require. Were you able to confirm that the fix in this PR was not enough and caused exit animation issues indeed?

I'll work on something similar this weekend. I'd love to use animation callbacks instead of using effect, or at least consider the configurable exit animation time (config.animationOutTiming)

Yeah that sounds like a better fix. Here's what I'm seeing when I try just using modals.length which seems like it should be expected behavior.

Noted!

I'd expect it indeed; unsure why it worked here. Thanks for hopping in and suggesting a fix

I'll let you know once I get to it. I hope you're temporarily unblocked using your patch.

Yes, we're unblocked with the patch. Thanks a lot for being so responsive!
