iOS 13 - Focus on next input element makes view moving up and down

Bug Report

Focus input while page is already focused on another cause whole view moving up and down on iOS 13.

Problem

After few tests, I’m facing the issue with focusing programatically inputs in Cordova iOS application. When application is focused on input, it shows keyboard and when is called focus of next input like nextInputElement.focus() it moves to next input but whole view moves down and up. I think that problem is with Keyboard, which makes view resizing and when I call focus of next input it makes on background hiding Keyboard and after that showing again. This is not happening on iOS 12, but only on iOS 13.

I recorded short video which shows what I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/JPWXwymjx_4

What is expected to happen?

When focus on next element, Keyboard could be freezed (still opened) and whole view shouldn’t move up and down

What does actually happen?

When focus on next element, whole view moves down and up.

As temporray solution, Can you try adding plugin “cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard” , and retest your app for the keyboard issue.

It helped me when I added the ionic keyboard plugin and tested agian.
