Offset difference in IME padding between iOS and Android

[SebastianAigner]

I have code like this:

Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize().imePadding(), contentAlignment = Alignment.BottomCenter) {
    NewTodoItemButton {
        // ...
    }
}

...that is nested inside a Scaffold. Seems to me like the padding isn't taking into account the surrounding Scaffold on iOS, but it is on Android.

Android (expected):

iOS (actual):

In your example project, you are applying the bottom (safe area) padding twice:

• once via the PaddingValues received from the Scaffold - applied on the Column
• second time via the .imePadding() modifier - applied on the Box

On android it works properly, because you did not enable edgeToEdge in your activity. (enableEdgeToEdge()). Without edgeToEdge, the imePadding/padding(it) has no effect.

I suggest to enable edgeToEdge for android, and remove the imePadding modifier.
