Summary

When using Contacts.presentContactPickerAsync to display a picker, pressing the back button on a physical Android device dismisses the contact picker, but the promise never resolves. I have 2 videos, one of my console output, one of my device.

• The first dismiss is done using the back arrow icon in the picker itself, the promise resolves to null
• The second dismiss is done using the Android back button, the promise never resolves

Using the back button on an Android simulator works.

Feels sort of similar to #28951
