It seems on Google Pixel devices the BackHandler does not work

A couple of questions:

1. Can you clarify what you mean with "BackHandler" here?
2. Can you point to the code in your reproducer where you're managing the back gesture?
3. Can you provide a video of the currect/expected behavior.

Please answer all of them and we'll be able to investigate further

@cortinico To answer your questions:

1. By BackHandler, I'm referring to handling the Android back button. When using React Navigation on non-Pixel devices, when the hardware back button is pressed it navigates to the previous screen. On Pixel devices it just closes the app.

2. https://github.com/Roamer77/Android13backButtonBug (to test you can you the Android emulator or actual device). Any Pixel version works, I tested on Pixel 7 Pro API 34 & Pixel 6.

3. Not shown in the video, on the Android emulator pressed the hardware back button
