Why
With the native modal, the input gets focused automatically still, but the keyboard does not present. This occurs both on-device and on an emulator. This is a small hack - one that we've had to use in other modals in the app - to focus the input slightly after the modal presents itself.
Test Plan
With a physical device, test that this properly shows the keyboard after opening. I tested lower intervals, and anything over 50ms worked every time for me, but 100ms feels just a little safer and does not affect anything visually or feel sluggish (since the animation is still ongoing anyway).
