Stripe re-direct not closing the in app browser in react-native 0.71

[abhishekashyap]

Describe the bug
I'm testing out more payment methods for Stripe following this guide. This was not working in my existing app which is using React Native 0.71. I created two standalone apps with same deep link configuration and similar URL scheme. The difference between these apps being the React Native version. One using 0.71 while the other using 0.76. In the app that was using RN 0.76, the flow was working correctly, while in RN 0.71 version the in app browser was never getting closed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open react native app using Stripe
2. Open the payment sheet
3. Click on any one of the payment methods
4. The in-app browser will open, authorise the payment
5. In-app browser doesn't close

Expected behavior
In-app browser should close and return to the payment sheet with correct status
