First tap is ignored after blurring a non-left aligned TextInput on Android

[Menardi]

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library.
• I tested using a supported version of React Native.
• I checked for existing issues that might answer my question.

Bug Summary

On Android, when there is a TextInput which has textAlign: 'center' or textAlign: 'right' set in a TrueSheet, when the TextInput is blurred by pressing the Enter key on the soft keyboard, the first touch afterwards is ignored. This does not happen if the keyboard is closed by tapping away from the keyboard, or if the text is left-aligned.

Steps to Reproduce

Using the reproduction code below:

1. Tap "Open Sheet"
2. Tap the TextInput in the sheet to focus it
3. Tap the Enter (or Done) key on the soft keyboard
4. Tap Close Sheet - nothing happens
5. Tap Close Sheet again - the sheet closes

Then repeat these steps with textAlign: 'center' removed. Note that the sheet closes on first tap.

For comparison, on the main screen, the first tap is not ignored even with textAlign set to center, which suggests it is a TrueSheet-specific issue.

1. Tap the TextInput on the main screen to focus it
2. Tap the Enter key on the soft keyboard
3. Tap Open Sheet - the sheet opens

Additional Context

I have reproduced this issue on a Pixel 9a and Samsung A35, both running Android 16. It has also been reported by a user running Android 14.

I created an Expo snack for reference, although I'm not sure if it'll run since Expo Go doesn't have the required dependencies. For reference, this is the minimal code I could get to reproduce this issue:

import { TrueSheet } from '@lodev09/react-native-true-sheet';
import { useRef } from 'react';
import { Button, TextInput } from 'react-native';
import { SafeAreaProvider, SafeAreaView } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

function CenteredTextInput() {
  return (
    <TextInput
      value="Test"
      style={{
        textAlign: 'center',
        padding: 8,
        fontSize: 24,
        backgroundColor: 'lightsteelblue',
        marginVertical: 24,
        marginHorizontal: 8,
      }}
    />
  )
}

function App() {
  const ref = useRef<TrueSheet>(null);

  return (
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <SafeAreaView>
        <CenteredTextInput />
        <Button title="Open Sheet" onPress={() => ref.current?.present()} />
      </SafeAreaView>

    <TrueSheet ref={ref}>
      <CenteredTextInput />
      <Button title="Close Sheet" onPress={() => ref.current?.dismiss()} />
    </TrueSheet>
    </SafeAreaProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

If there's anything else I can do to help track down the cause, let me know.
