Description

I'm using an InputAccessoryView to create a sticky TextInput. When using a growing multiline TextInput, the TextInput's height increases and grown down behind the keyboard.

Environment

Environment:
OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
Node: 9.11.1
Yarn: 1.5.1
npm: 5.6.0
Watchman: 4.9.0
Xcode: Xcode 9.3 Build version 9E145
Android Studio: 3.0 AI-171.4443003

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
react-native: 0.55.2 => 0.55.2

Steps to Reproduce

Add multiline to a TextInput wrapped inside an InputAccessoryView.

Expected Behavior

InputAccessoryView's bottom edge is always sticky to the keyboard top and does not grow behind the keyboard.

Actual Behavior

multiline

Research direction

The issue identifies InputAccessoryView and a multiline TextInput but names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the growth-behind-keyboard behavior on iOS, then trace the InputAccessoryView layout path. Done means the accessory view remains flush with the keyboard top as the TextInput grows.
