TextInput with keyboardType="numeric" on iPad switches to the default keyboard when tapped again while focused

Description

On iPad, a TextInput configured with keyboardType="numeric" initially displays the numeric keyboard as expected.

However, if the keyboard remains open and the user taps the same TextInput again, iOS switches to the default keyboard instead of keeping the numeric keyboard.

This does not happen on iPhone.

Steps to reproduce

• Launch the app on an iPad IPad Pro 11-inch (either physical device or simulator).
• Tap a numerical TextInput.
• The numeric keyboard is displayed.
• Without dismissing the keyboard, tap the same TextInput again.

Inizia eseguendo il riproduttore obbligatorio su un iPad e conferma che il secondo tocco cambia la tastiera numerica. Traccia la gestione della tastiera di React Native iOS TextInput coinvolta in questa interazione. Il lavoro è completato quando i tocchi ripetuti mantengono la tastiera numerica su iPad senza modificare il comportamento su iPhone.
