Description

Trying to use Burnt but the native toasts are hidden behind my FullWindowOverlay component. i need it because it's a pin code security so need to go above all other window, modal included but not toasts x)

i have a screen inside a FullWindowOverlay that is used when the user comeback after X seconde to ask for a security pin code, since i need this screen as a security it's over everything in the app and i used FullWindowOverlay to achieve that.

when we tried to use burnt, the toast it creates is also hidden by the FullWindowOverlay screen, even if i call the toast inside the FullWindowOverlay component.

i'm no expert but from what i understood, burnt use the app root view as the parent for the toast but FullWindowOverlay create a view above the root to be above everything which means it's also above the toast.

Current hierachy (assuming FullScreenWindowOverlayContainer is a FullWindowOverlay and SPIndicatorView is a toast)

it's the view hierarchy when the toast is hidden behind the full window overlay (i called the toast inside the full window overlay component and it's hidden behind it still)

Steps to reproduce

Create a FullWindowOverlay and try to create a native toast from Burnt library. Native toast should be visible there, but it is not.

I can confirm that this issue is happening after opening a react-native Modal.
