Keyboarding stays open after closing the Side Menu which contains a TextInput

[MakhouT]

When having a TextInput in a Side Menu and you close the Side Menu, the Keyboard closes during navigation but then instantly opens again after the navigation has been finished.

I am able to reproduce this in the playground app, please check the screen recording:

I tried going around this:

In the SideMenuLeftScreen in the playground app, there is this useEffect:

  useEffect(() => {
    const unsubscribe = Navigation.events().registerComponentListener(
      {
        componentDidAppear: () => {
          Alert.alert('RNN', `componentDidAppear`);
        },
        componentDidDisappear: () => {
          Keyboard.dismiss();
          Alert.alert('RNN', `componentDidDisappear`);
        },
      },
      componentId
    );
    return () => {
      unsubscribe.remove();
    };
  }, [componentId]);

I think we need an extra listener, componentWillDisappear, where we can dismiss the Keyboard first and then let the navigation do its work. Or alternatively, automatically always close the keyboard when doing a navigation operation.

This issue has been tested on the latest version of react native and react-native-navigation. This issue is only happening on iOS. On Android it's behaving correctly out of the box/
