There's already an existing PR from @robertKozik for same thing but for Android & iOS, we could extend that:

• Reintroduce animated input for Markdown composer #35973

[thienlnam]

Taking this over since it deals with live markdown

[thienlnam]

Doesn't look like it needs to be a blocker, but let's get this resolved soon! Will assign @robertKozik since it looks like we can wrap that into the existing PR

EDIT: just kidding, looks like you will have to comment on the issue for me to do that

[robertKozik]

Now you should be able to assign 😄 . I'm going to work on extending the animated input fix now

[robertKozik]

Looks like reintroducing animated component don't solve it. It's for sure problem with/lack of autofocus prop. CC. @Skalakid

[robertKozik]

This PR contaions fix to the RCA of this issue: Expensify/react-native-live-markdown#175 .

@thienlnam Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

Tested locally on release 0.1.9. Issue is no longer reproductible - Expensify/react-native-live-markdown#175 seems to solve this
