FullWindowOverlay blocking the maestro to see the hierarchy

[wcastand]

i'm using FullWindowOverlay from react-native-screen to put my toast and a security screen over the app.

The issue is that it seems to block Maestro from seeing the app hierarchy so i can't assertVisible or even tapOn on anything in my app.

I didn't see any mention of this in the issues or discussion, which surprise me since FullWindowOverlay is quite popular among react-native app to put view above Modal, etc

what's the trick for Maestro to be usable?

I created a minimal reproductible example and issue here: #2451

i think they don't consider this a bug or an issue.
the way to manage it is to only mount the FullWindowOverlay when actually used.
i would not expect a change on their part to handle that case
