Hi @fafo, Thank you for reporting this issue. We will try to fix this at the earliest.

Hi @fafo, initialFocusRef can't open the keyboard. In your case, it's inputText but Sometimes the user wants to focus on radio or button when Modal is open. So this doesn't align with the component library perspective. I am moving this to the discussion. We can have a conversation about it there.

Hi, I understand the doubt but in my understanding the correct behavior of .focus() on a text input in react native is to open the keyboard.
The issue here is that I see the cursor in the correct input, but the keyboard is closed. For this reason I thought of a bug, since it seems that something odd is happening while opening the modal and preventing the automatic opening of the keyboard

got it, I guess only when input it focused should open the keyboard. seem a valid bug. Moving this back to issues. #5257
