Minimal reproducible example
https://github.com/leggomuhgreggo/nav-testing/tree/expo-router-repro/modal-stack-grouped
UPDATE: verified issue still exists in expo-router@3.1.2
https://github.com/leggomuhgreggo/nav-testing/tree/expo-router-repro/modal-stack-grouped-v3
I think the issue is that the router can't distinguish between the root index and the (group) index.
I theory, it seems like this should be possible w/ unstable_settings.initialRouteName but this is not currently supported
Can also define (group)/index.tsx but this isn't always ideal.
@leggomuhgreggo Can you please create a new issue on the main repo https://github.com/expo/expo, as development has moved there.
When you do so, can you please update your reproduction repo to be a minimal example. Providing a repo with 6 different apps is not a good minimal reproduction
