This happens when I use the example verbatim on Android.

I'm also facing this issue with RN 0.62

@samgermain Do you have any solution for that?

[fliip92]

@kennedy0527 @samgermain I created a fork and fixed some issues. works on android. still not seeing the keyboard on ios

[452MJ]

I fix this problem. Follow the steps

Step 1

Copy RNCustomKeyboardKit.h and RNCustomKeyboardKit.m from ../node_modules/react-native-custom-keyboard-kit/ios, then paste to YOUR_RN_PROJECT/ios/IOS_PROJECT/

Step 2

In XCode, in the project navigator, right click YOUR_PROJECT ➜ Add Files to [your project's name] Go to YOUR_RN_PROJECT/ios/IOS_PROJECT/and add RNCustomKeyboardKit.h and RNCustomKeyboardKit.m

Step 3

Modify YOUR_RN_PROJECT/ios/IOS_PROJECT/RNCustomKeyboardKit.m

- #import "RCTBridge+Private.h"
- #import "RCTUIManager.h"
+ #import "React/RCTBridge.h"
+ #import "React/RCTUIManager.h"

I do 3 step but compile failed. what is your project RN version ?
