Linking.openURL() is not working with detox tests

[gosha212]

What happened?

Linking.openURL() doesn't work well in two cases:

When using Pressable: <Pressable onPress={ async () => { await Linking.openURL('https://www.wix.com'); }} testID='open-web-browser-button'> <Text> Open web browser </Text> </Pressable> This will cause the test to hang with a message: The app is busy with the following tasks: • There are enqueued timers.

When using Wix UILib button component (instead of the react native one): The test will hang with the following message: UI elements are busy: - Reason: Animations running on screen.

What was the expected behaviour?
