Research direction
Start by running the mandatory reproducer at https://github.com/wem2017/react-native/tree/fix/change-keyboard-type on iOS with the input focused. Trace the runtime keyboardType update in the Fabric iOS path; done means changing from default to email-address visibly reloads the keyboard while the input remains focused, matching Android behavior.
