Interesting. We're running 0.70.6 and don't see the issue. Mind checking in npm modules if my fix is present?

[dranitski]

@pfulop just updated my expo app to 0.70.6 and still can reproduce the issue.

I looked at react-native repo - in 0.70.6 your fix is not present at all!

Just compare:

• https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/v0.70.6/Libraries/Components/Keyboard/KeyboardAvoidingView.js#L93-L98
• https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34749/files

@dranitski Now I see. I see it locally because the patch I made for our project is still being applied during installation.

But indeed, it's in Main but not in the latest release. I guess this is a better question for maintainers.

[dranitski]

@pfulop maybe they will faster react on PR then Issue? Do you have a minute to re-create your PR?

[pfulop]

@dranitski The change is present in the main. So the PR would be empty.

[dranitski]

@pfulop thanks, now I see it. Thanks for your time. I dont know what else can we do to escalate the issue. Will just wait 🫖

[dranitski]

@pfulop seems like the fix was added again in latest 0.71 release https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/0.71-stable/Libraries/Components/Keyboard/KeyboardAvoidingView.js#L96

Same issue here and it's getting very annoying.
Every time I switch the keyboard to symbols/emoji or any other and then switch back to letters, the height gets completely miscalculated.

Is there any quick fix for this?

[camilossantos2809]

I usually use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in AndroidManifest.xml and behavior={Platform.OS === "ios" ? "padding" : undefined} in KeyboardAvoidingView.
Does this help your situation?
