react-native-select-contact: Cannot selectContactPhone on iOS

When using “selectContactPhone” nothing happens.

Code:

selectContactPhone()
      .then(selection => {
        if (!selection) {
          return null;
        }

        let { contact, selectedPhone } = selection;
        console.log(`Selected ${selectedPhone.type} phone number ${selectedPhone.number} from ${contact.name}`);
        return selectedPhone.number;
      });

Logs:

So after a lot of searching, I found the solution. I was using a modal and closing that modal at the time of opening the contact list, that was the mistake. What IOS does is, links the native UI screen with the last app screen and in my case, it was that modal screen. As that modal screen is no more present, IOS wasn’t able to show that native UI screen. The solution was pretty simple, I close the modal after the user interaction.
