Android back button no longer works with reduced motion

[pierroo]

Description

I recently upgraded to reanimated v3 since then, lots of issue that were already discussed in other topics (I also wish there was a general settings to turn it off for the whole app)

But I didn't see a mention of android back button no longer working because of it.

Users who face that issue, confirmed that turning off reduced motion in their android settings fixed the back button.

Steps to reproduce

1- turn reduce motion ON 2- use hardware back button on android (the one at the bottom right of android) 3- doesn't work

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

Hi @pierroo I was unable to reproduce your issue in our example app, we were using

import { NavigationContainer, useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';
import {
//...
  NativeStackNavigationProp,
} from '@react-navigation/native-stack';

//...
const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
//...
  return (
    <NavigationContainer independent={true}>
      <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen name="First" component={FirstScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name="Second" component={SecondScreen} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );

What type of navigator do you use? Could you provide a simple reproduction?

@pierroo Hi! We are quite sure that the error is specific to certain animation library. Could you tell, what navigation library do you use?
