Prerequisites

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines.
• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

• v4.x
• v5.x
• v6.x

Current Behavior

I am using this cordova-sms-plugin to send sms from my app. When I send a text which is shorter, everything works as expected but when text is longer and sms app opens, coming back to app will hide the toolbar irrespective of whether I sent the sms or not. When inspected in Safari, I can see the toolbar if I add padding-top from ion-safe-area-top to 162px.

Expected Behavior

Toolbar shoudlnt disappear. As per my understanding, size of webview is being changed on opening sms app with longer text.

Steps to Reproduce

install cordova-sms-plugin open sms app by using a longer text message to send. come back to app

I have found a resolution to the issue. It appears that both MFMessageComposeViewController and MFMailComposeViewController will cause the webview to resize between iOS 14 to 15.

You will need to install @capacitor/keyboard into your project(s) to resolve this issue.

npm i @capacitor/keyboard

Next, before you open the SMS plugin/keyboard, set the resize behavior to none.

import { Keyboard, KeyboardResize } from '@capacitor/keyboard';

...

async openSmsApp() {
  await Keyboard.setResizeMode({
    mode: KeyboardResize.None
  });
  ...
  await this.smsPlugin.send(phoneNumbers, message, options);

  await Keyboard.setResizeMode({
    // Change this value if you aren't using ion-app
    mode: KeyboardResize.Ionic
  });

Remember to sync your capacitor plugins after installing the dependency.

Let me know if this resolves the issue on your end. I’ve checked locally with both the Cordova and Capacitor plugin, on iOS 15.1
