KeyboardAvoidingView behaves differently in some circumstances

Hi,

i am using KeyboardAvoidingView inside a SafeView in a StackView of react-navigation-stack. While it works great on android, in iOS i notice differences between several iOS devices (iphone 11 & SE (1. gen)).

screen is structured like this:

<SaveAreaView>
    <KeyboardAvoidingView
        behavior={Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 'padding' : null}
        keyboardVerticalOffset={Header.HEIGHT}
    >
       <TextInput/>
    </KeyboardAvoidingView
<SaveAreaView>

I figured out that the following changes in KeyboardAvoidingView would fix my issue, why has this been reverted and is there maybe another workaround?

React Native version:

0.62.2

Expected Results

same padding / distances cross different devices

Differences between Android and iOS are expected, according to the docs: https://reactnative.dev/docs/keyboardavoidingview#behavior

Android and iOS both interact with this prop differently. On both iOS and Android, setting behavior is recommended.

So, while I don’t know the history of that, sounds like this is expected? Pinging @TheSavior as he was on the PR for the commit you identified.
