[iOS] The caret goes under the keyboard in multiline TextInput after the ScrollView auto-scrolls to the caret

[Serge0n]

Description

On iOS, when using a multiline TextInput inside a ScrollView with automaticallyAdjustKeyboardInsets, the caret goes under the keyboard after adding a new line in the input.

Steps to reproduce

<ScrollView automaticallyAdjustKeyboardInsets>
   // Any content above the TextInput to position it at the bottom of the screen
   <TextInput multiline style={{ height: 100 }} /> // multiline TextInput with some fixed height
</ScrollView>

1. ScrollView with automaticallyAdjustKeyboardInsets (with enough content to fill the whole screen).
2. Multiline TextInput with fixed height (let's say 100).
3. Focus on the input when it’s positioned at the bottom of the screen.
4. Let the keyboard slide up and the ScrollView scroll to the caret.
5. Type more than 1 line in the TextInput.
6. The TextInput caret goes under the keyboard
7. Once the TextInput fills the available height, it starts scrolling, but the user only sees the first line of the input

@Serge0n Thanks for raising this! Could you please run npx @react-native-community/cli info in your project root and paste the output here? That full env snapshot will help us debug the issue more effectively.

I’m not sure this is relevant, since I’ve provided a test example using Expo Snack
