UI thread blocking in OktaSdkBridgeModule causing app unresponsiveness

[anujsachan1990]

Describe the bug?

The OktaSdkBridgeModule is currently performing several operations on the main UI thread, which can lead to app unresponsiveness, especially on devices with limited resources or slow network connections. This affects methods such as createConfig, signIn, and authenticate.

This may be unnoticeable in a few devices but I can see it clearly in Pixel 6,7,8 which are not too old devices. The UI Thread should not be blocked.

The Fix is here:
#428

What is expected to happen?

The app should remain responsive during Okta SDK operations, with no noticeable UI freezing or lag.

What is the actual behavior?

The app becomes unresponsive or experiences significant lag during Okta SDK operations, particularly on slower devices or networks.

Reproduction Steps?

1. Initialize the Okta SDK using createConfig
2. Attempt to sign in using signIn or authenticate method
3. Observe UI responsiveness, especially on slower devices or networks
