Sorry for the source code. I changed it and I share a link with simpler code. I found a “work around” adding by default the property caretHidden = {false}. Although this property is false, for the specified OS and the specified mobile device, passing it the caret is displayed. This is a work around since we shouldn’t pass it to it if it is false by default.

Having the same issue. For me the problem reproduced on Lenovo tb 8505f and Xiaomi Redmi 9A (Android 10). But setting caretHidden = {false} doesn’t even help.
