issues with refs in React Native 0.61

[Michaelvons]

The fix is to make use of react-native hooks

import the UseRef Hook
import React, {useRef} from 'react';

create a variable using it
const modal3 = useRef();

in the Modal prop, refer to the ref

<Modal
ref={modal3}>
...
</Modal>

Open your modal using the open() Method like so:

<Button
title="Open Modal"
onPress={() => modal3.current.open()}
 /> 

voila !!. It works
