Brownfield App `TextInput` not working properly on Samsung devices

Description

In the midst of developing a chat app using brownfield react native app, an user reported with a video that it was not able to send a message. Upon further investigation I could scope down and reproduce the issue with the following criteria:

• Brownfield React Native App inside an Android Fragment;
• Samsung Devices:
  • Note 10;
  • S21 Ultra (Android 14 | OneUI 6.1).

I also tested on my Google Pixel 3a and it worked without any issues, so it must be Samsung related. Also, if the Android app opens an Activity that starts a react root view, the input also does work.

The cases where I could make it work were when I tapped in the corner of the TextInput. Adding console logs to the TextInput, the onPressIn triggers anywhere on the TextInput but onFocus only triggers on the cases that I could make it work.

My fix is not an ideal one, but I am calling ref.current.focus() for every onPressIn in order to make the whole TextInput clickable

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new Android Repository;
2. Create a Fragment;
3. Embed React Native into this React Fragment;
4. Add a TextInput field;
5. Tap and add a text [ NOT WORKING]

Bắt đầu với reproducer brownfield-rn-fragment được liên kết và tái hiện hành vi của TextInput bên trong một Android Fragment trên các thiết bị Samsung được liệt kê. So sánh các lần chạm kích hoạt onPressIn nhưng không kích hoạt onFocus với trường hợp Activity/root-view hoạt động đúng trên React Native 0.74.5 và 0.75.3. Được xem là hoàn thành khi toàn bộ TextInput nhận focus và chấp nhận văn bản mà không gọi ref.current.focus() từ mỗi onPressIn.
