I have the same issue

[evan-klemen-cleo]

use prop isKeyboardInternallyHandled to false

Thanks for the suggestion. Seems when I set it to false my InputToolbar does not float above the keyboard and becomes obstructed. I tried wrapping in a <KeyboardAvoidingView>and it’s positioned above the keyboard but the keyboard still dismisses on send 😕

edit: I also tried adding blutOnSubmit like so, but no luck there either.

textInputProps={{
  blurOnSubmit: false,
}}
