[0.76][New Arch] Pressable loses background when applying borderless ripple effect

[wfern]

Description

The Pressable component loses its backgroundColor and ripple effect when android_ripple is set with borderless: true.

Notes:
• If Pressable is the only component in the app or if all parent components have transparent backgrounds, the ripple effect works as expected. However, this scenario is not realistic.

Edit 1:
Crazy thing: if you add overflow: hidden to the parent, the Pressable background and ripple works again for some reason. But again, only if the parent and pressable are in the root.

I have two snacks:

1. Using SDK 51 (old arch), this is working fine:

2. Using SDK 52 (new arch), where the bug happens:
   https://snack.expo.dev/@wfern/android-pressable-borderless-sdk-52

Steps to reproduce

In the Snack with SDK 52 set Pressable android_ripple borderless to true and see it's background and ripple effect disappear.

@wfern thanks for reporting this. We're looking into this issue. For the time being this is a workaround to fix your situation:

function Playground() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <View
+       collapsable={false}
        style={{
          flex: 1,
          justifyContent: 'center',
          padding: 12,
          // the container/parent must have a backgroundColor,
          // if this is transparent the pressable background and
          // ripple works but thats not realistic
          backgroundColor: 'yellow',
        }}>
        <Pressable
          android_ripple={{
            color: 'blue',
            // set borderless to "true" to see the bug
            borderless: true,
          }}
          style={{
            width: 100,
            padding: 12,
            backgroundColor: 'green',
            borderWidth: 1,
            borderColor: 'black',
          }}
          onPress={() => console.log(1)}>
          <Text>Teste</Text>
        </Pressable>
      </View>
    </View>
  );
}

Essentially setting collapsable={false} on your parent view will disable view flattening locally which is causing this problem on Android

This can be reproduced inside the current main branch RNTester App at Pressable / Pressable with custom Ripple (android only) for the radius 30 and radius 150 buttons.
