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?

No response

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.
