I get these logs by running: adb logcat app-name *:W.

I have seen that this issue mostly occurs on Oreo devices with RN version 48 or greater. There are multiple solutions online that include adding native Java code. But I can't understand them properly and none of them have worked for me so far. Below are some links I have followed;

Quoting a Github answer here:

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4043

I found a workaround here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32061934/permission-from-manifest-doesnt-work-in-android-6

add this to your MainActivity and call it in your onCreate or something. It will show a screen where you can activate the permission.

private static final int OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 2;

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
private void _askForOverlayPermission() {
    if (!BuildConfig.DEBUG || android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        return;
    }

    if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
        Intent settingsIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
                Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
        startActivityForResult(settingsIntent, OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
    }
}

There is probably a way of implementing the dev menu that doesn't need this SystemAlertWindow though.
