There is no way to manage focus for external keyboard from one element to another

Description

Sometimes we need to set external keyboard focus from one place to another, for instance from one Pressable to another Pressable, or from a Pressable to a View.

For Screen Reader users we can use AccessibilityInfo.setAccessibilityFocus(tag) to manage focus, but this technique does not work for the external keyboard when a screen reader is not switched on.

The standard React method of ref.current.focus() also does not work for external keyboard users on mobile (only web).

Start by reproducing the behavior on physical Android and iOS devices with a hardware keyboard using the two linked Expo Snack examples. Trace how focus is handled when activating the Send focus button, then verify that focus moves to the Receive focus button without a screen reader enabled.
