Description
Current behavior
Navigating back dismisses the keyboard.
Expected behavior
I expected the keyboard to be open as I have two text inputs on both screens.

Research direction
Start with the linked Snack reproduction and compare the iOS back-navigation behavior with the reported package versions. Trace which navigation package handles the back action and keyboard dismissal; done when navigating back between the two screens leaves the keyboard open as expected.
