iOS - Input field shifts out of view after fresh install until app is restarted

[rakeshpatilAW]

Issue Description
View shifts down and input box gets hidden when the keyboard is displayed on iOS, but only after a fresh install of the app. The issue automatically resolves after killing and restarting the app. This only occurs after a first-time install and is no longer reproducible after the app is reopened.

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets

• Install the app freshly (either via Xcode or TestFlight).
• Open a screen that uses GiftedChat (or similar input field).
• Tap on the input field to open the keyboard.
• Observe the view shifting unexpectedly, causing the input field to either move down or go out of bounds.
• Kill the app completely (swipe it from recent apps) and reopen.
• Repeat step 3 and observe that the issue no longer occurs.

Expected Results

• After installing the app for the first time, the input field should remain properly visible when the keyboard is opened.
• The view should adjust correctly to the keyboard without shifting the input field out of the safe area or screen bounds.
• User should not have to kill and restart the app to fix this behavior manually.
• This behavior should be consistent across app installs and restarts.
