Animated.FlatList doesn't bounce back during refreshing if calling Alert.alert in `onRefresh`

Description

I attempt to add a alert popup box when user refreshes the FlatList, but it seems that Alert.alert will interfere with Animated.FlatList's animation and will cause it doesn't bounce back

Steps to reproduce

Minimal code to reproduce:

import { Animated, StyleSheet, Alert, Dimensions } from 'react-native';

import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

function App() {
  return (
    <Animated.FlatList
        data={["item1", "item2", "item3"]}
        renderItem={({ item }) => <Text style={{fontSize: 20, margin: 10, padding: 10}}>{item}</Text>}
        style={{ position: "relative", borderColor: "black", margin: 10, padding: 10, borderWidth: 1, borderRadius: 10 }}
        refreshing={false}
        onRefresh={() => {
          Alert.alert(
            "Alert",
            "Sure?",
            [
              {text: "cancel", style: "cancel", onPress: () => {}},
              {
                text: "ok",
                onPress: () => {
                  console.log("ok");
                },
              },
            ],
          );
        }}
      />
  );
}

const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');


export default function HomeScreen() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <View style={[styles.box, {
        position: 'absolute',
        top: height*0.25,
        left: width*0.25,
      }]}>
        <App />
      </View>
  </View>

  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: 'white',
  },
  box: {
    // backgroundColor: 'blue',
    opacity: 0.5,
  },
  titleContainer: {
    flexDirection: 'row',
    alignItems: 'center',
    gap: 8,
  },
  stepContainer: {
    gap: 8,
    marginBottom: 8,
  },
  reactLogo: {
    height: 178,
    width: 290,
    bottom: 0,
    left: 0,
    position: 'absolute',
  },
});

There's no crash so I don't think log will be useful

Screenshots and Videos

It's easy to see it using the reproducer link and select iOS runtime. Just swipe down and refresh the list and you'll see it

Start with the Snack reproducer and run it on the iOS runtime, focusing on Animated.FlatList's onRefresh behavior when it calls Alert.alert. Confirm the list fails to bounce back after the alert appears, and consider the issue done when refreshing with the alert restores the expected bounce-back animation.
