[Ente auth] Activating search on app startup does not activate keyboard #3849

Description

Hi. Mobile user here. Have enabled the setting to Focus search on app start. This technically does what I would expect, i.e. puts focus in the search bar on app startup, but it does not activate the keyboard. Net result is I still have to tap in the search box for the keyboard to appear so I can enter some search text.

I would expect the phone's keyboard to activate after starting the app with the Focus search on app start setting enabled.

Version

4.0.2

What product are you using?

Ente Auth

What platform are you using?

Mobile - Android

Same for me :+1: Also with disabled "Focus search on app start" a manual tap on the search symbol shows the search box with "Search..." but no focus/blinking cursor or keyboard.

I have just tried this with Auth v4.0.2 and it works as expected with the keyboard already invoked. However I have had this problem with a banking app I use. The solution was to uninstall clear all app caches, reboot, clear all caches again and login. Boring but it worked. Some upgrades are OK and some need reinstallation. For general search, I found that the keyboard invoked normally when I taped the the search box to move focus. Personally I prefer it that way but I don't know if that was a deliberate choice in the logic. It does seem to be a thing with packaged apps. Native seems to be a bit more reliable but that is time and money for x-platform.
