[V2] Overlay closes and opens keyboard on iOS

[pribeh]

On iOS, calling an overlay while the keyboard is open closes the keyboard. After dismissing the overlay, the keyboard opens again. Is there a reason why this is? Or can this be considered a bug?

STEPS

• Navigation.push screen with textinput
• Focus textinput to load keyboard
• Navigation.showOverlay component (in our case a notification type component with smallish size)

RESULT

As soon as the overlay loads, the keyboard and textinput collapse. When the overlay is dismissed, the keyboard and textinput expand again.

We're using overlays for in-app notifications so this is quite bothersome for the end user in this instance.

@pribeh or anyone else can you confirm this is fixed? I'm still getting this issue on iOS, version 2.12.0.

@tomhicks @guyca I think the fix is in this line of the commit

- [overlayWindow makeKeyAndVisible];
+ [overlayWindow setHidden:NO];

The problem is that it isn't included in master or in 2.12.0. Maybe something went wrong with merge/other commits?

[pribeh]

@tomhicks yeah, it doesn't seem to be fixed and @FRizzonelli is correct that the fix looks to be missing.
