Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Swiping to the right doesn't dismiss the search modal on iOS.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Swiping is disabled on purpose in the line below.

App/src/components/Search/SearchRouter/SearchRouterModal.tsx

Line 14 in 4f0ca94

const modalType = shouldUseNarrowLayout ? CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED_UNSWIPEABLE : CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.POPOVER;

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Simply setting the type to CONST.MODAL.MODAL_TYPE.CENTERED would make the modal swipable, but it might not be the right solution.

We need to understand why swiping was disabled first, maybe with the help of the original committer @SzymczakJ, and resolve their concerns.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

N/A

[SzymczakJ]

Yes, I've set modal type to CENTRED_UNSWIPABLE on purpose because SelectionList behaved really strange(go on and test it yourself) on CENTRED modal. I didn't realise that it will break the swipe right pattern on iOS though.
Unfortunately I don't have a straightforward solution for this, I guess we will have to fix SelectionList behaviour on CENTRED_UNSWIPABLE modals.
I could take a look at it, after finishing this PR #51237, so it can take me like 1-2 days.
