Tried to show an alert while not attached to an Activity #46201
Description
Description
Migrating my existing libraries / apps from RN@0.74 to the latest RN@0.75.2. Using new architecture, targeting Android. Got Tried to show an alert while not attached to an Activity error when calling Alert.alert('abc', 'def');. Seems to be a regression of an old bug #13439?
P.S.: No, I had no chance yet to check whether it is reproducible in a clean RN app.

@birdofpreyru could you provide a reproducer using this template? You can add whichever library you need to make the reproducer work.
It's quite hard for us to help out if we don't know how to repro it.

It seems to work fine on my side... Am I missing something?

Hmm... it works now for me as well 0.o Tried everything that comes to my mind — the older commit at which I was when reporting it, a clean build, a few different Android versions in the emulator... still no problem anymore.

I had react-native-bottom-action-sheet installed, I started seeing this error and uninstalled bottom sheet and the error resolved.

I got here with the same issue and reading that it magically fixed itself for others made me try to close and reopen the app - and then it was also magically fixed on my end..

Same problem, a restart helped, there must be some underlying bug though, can we reopen?

Fought this for an hour before finding this and restarting solved mine as well.
Do we have any idea if this is isolated to dev builds? I am concerned that alerts may be failing in production for whatever the same root cause is...
