🐛 Android: Cursor jumps to right when clearing centered TextInput

Description

When using a TextInput with textAlign: "center" on Android, clearing the input causes the cursor to move to the right end of the input instead of staying centered.

This does not happen on iOS — iOS behaves correctly.

This issue makes centered numeric or OTP-style inputs feel broken on Android.

Steps to reproduce

1)Render a TextInput with textAlign: "center"
2)Type any value
3)Clear the value (backspace or programmatically)
4)Observe cursor position

`import React, { useState } from "react";
import { View, TextInput, StyleSheet } from "react-native";

export default function App() {
const [value, setValue] = useState("");

return (



);
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: "center",
padding: 20,
},
input: {
borderWidth: 1,
height: 48,
fontSize: 18,
textAlign: "center",
},
});
`

Comienza con el reproductor obligatorio de TextInput en la documentación de React Native y reproduce el comportamiento en Android con textAlign establecido en center. Rastrea el comportamiento de Android de TextInput implicado al borrar el texto de una entrada controlada. Se considera terminado cuando el cursor permanece centrado después de borrar mediante retroceso o programáticamente, sin cambiar el comportamiento correcto de iOS.
