TextInput closes automatically when opened on android

Description

Hi there,

I switched laptops and cloned the repository of my project, did a quick yarn install and looks like it was a big difference from the one on the main branch but I didn’t bother since maybe it’s just because of different Node versions.

Now every time I click on one TextInput the keyboard opens and closes immediately only on android. I attached a quick recording here. Tried some solutions and it looks like switching android:windowSoftInputMode from adjustResize to adjustPan in AndroidManifest.xml fixes the problem with the closing but I’m not really happy with the behaviour of the keyboard in the app when it’s set to adjustPan.

Not really sure what could be the steps to reproduce. Maybe this issue starting happening a while ago but I just saw it now.

Unfortunately, none of the above solutions worked for me. Even I’ve tried multiple versions of react-native-screens, but no luck.

Finally, made it work the issue I had was that I upgraded to 3.10.2 and not ~3.10.2. Give it a go. Hope this helps.
