You have upgraded from expo 50 to 51? On version 50 was working fine?

Please, provide the configuration used in the KeyboardManager.

[tomiwaajayi]

Hi @douglasjunior Yes it was working fine on Version 50.

Her's the config I used

if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
 KeyboardManager.setEnable(true)
 KeyboardManager.setEnableDebugging(true)
 KeyboardManager.setKeyboardDistanceFromTextField(30)
 KeyboardManager.setLayoutIfNeededOnUpdate(true)
 KeyboardManager.setEnableAutoToolbar(true)
 KeyboardManager.setToolbarDoneBarButtonItemText('Done')
 KeyboardManager.setToolbarManageBehaviourBy('subviews') // "subviews" | "tag" | "position"
 KeyboardManager.setToolbarPreviousNextButtonEnable(true)
 KeyboardManager.setToolbarTintColor('#2C67F6') // Only #000000 format is supported
 KeyboardManager.setToolbarBarTintColor('#f6f6f6') // Only #000000 format is supported
 KeyboardManager.setShouldShowToolbarPlaceholder(false)
 KeyboardManager.setOverrideKeyboardAppearance(false)
 KeyboardManager.setKeyboardAppearance('default') // "default" | "light" | "dark"
 KeyboardManager.setShouldResignOnTouchOutside(true)
 KeyboardManager.setShouldPlayInputClicks(true)
}

I also tried using it without defining any config and it was the same.

Same issue is on happening on "expo": "^52.0.9" also!

[kirillzyusko]

It happens because of this: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/48339

Expo 52 enables new architecture by default, and that issue is present on new architecture only. As a potential workaround you have two options:

• to patch RN with the changes from this PR
• to disable new architecture (temporarily) and enable it again in future Expo SDK versions (with RN 0.78 probably, I'll try to create a cherry pick request for RN 0.77)

Hi @sandeepsuthar you need to install patch-package in your project.

1. Install patch-package
2. Configure based on patch-package
3. Change the code in node_modules as in this PR from @kirillzyusko
4. Run npx patch-package react-native

All are clearly explained in the patch-package Readme.md
