iOS Keyboard blocks tap interactions on the first attempt

[asafkorem]

What happened?

When using the keyboard (on a text field for example), tapping on visible elements outside the keyboard only dismisses the keyboard (but not handled as regular taps, as it should). That happens on Detox test but not on a manual test.

What was the expected behaviour?

The keyboard is being dismissed and the tap is handled regularly

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• [X] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

@asafkorem is the todo column the right place for this? Could be backlog or bugathon it instead, as it is not urgent?

BTW: One work-around for this is to either apply the tap twice (conditionally, if iOS), or preempt the actual tap with some senseless tap on a dead-space area on the screen (e.g. tap() with specific coordinates), just for dismissing the keyboard.

@d4vidi I agree, backlog or bugathon fits better here.

@asafkorem do you know how to get this fixed? Could we sum the steps up for contributors?
