How are you calling the gui.hide_keyboard()? On a timer? On a user action?

[wistpotion]

It is called by defolds on_input. Specifically for touch.

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("touch") and action.pressed then
		gui.hide_keyboard()
	end
end

It is called by defolds on_input. Specifically for touch.

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("touch") and action.pressed then
		gui.hide_keyboard()
	end
end

HTML5 is a bit specific platform, taking into account all the security features that only allow calling certain functions using specific DOM events. Could you please test is using a special function we provide specifically for such cases html5.set_interaction_listener()? https://defold.com/ref/stable/html5/#html5.set_interaction_listener:callback

[wistpotion]

Tested with set_interaction_listener, still doesn't hide the keyboard. I confirmed that the callback was actually running as well.

Could you please check if you have anything in the console of the Safari Dev Tools when the device is connected and you perform the test?

I do not own a Mac, are there any different tools that could be used?

Maybe there's a way to read the log from Windows or Linux. I haven't looked.

I’ll dig into it, might take a few days though.

As temporary solution you can use this:

html5.run('Module["canvas"].blur()')

Works on Iphone 8 Plus.
