`TextInput` emits `onChange` event with invalid `selection` on Android browser autofill

Description

On Android, filling a TextInput via browser/system autofill emits an onChange event whose nativeEvent.selection is {start: 0, end: 0} instead of pointing to the end of the inserted text.

The text is correct, but the selection is wrong — the cursor is reported at the start of the field rather than after the autofilled value. The same input entered by pasting (from clipboard) reports the correct selection, and iOS reports the correct selection for both paste and autofill.

<TextInput
  autoComplete="tel"
  onChange={console.log}
/>

Expected vs. actual

iPhone 17 (iOS 26.5) — correct in both cases

✅ Paste +1 (555) 123-4567:

nativeEvent: {
  text: '+1 (555) 123-4567',
  selection: { start: 17, end: 17 }
}

✅ Browser autofill +1 (555) 123-4567:

nativeEvent: {
  text: '+1 (555) 123-4567',
  selection: { start: 17, end: 17 } 
}

Pixel 10 Pro XL (Android 17.0) — autofill is broken

✅ Paste +15551234567:

nativeEvent: {
  text: '+15551234567',
  selection: { start: 12, end: 12 }
}

❌ Browser autofill +15551234567:

nativeEvent: {
  text: '+15551234567',
  selection: { start: 0, end: 0 }
  //         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
}

On Android, autofill reports selection: { start: 0, end: 0 } while the text length is 12.

Commencez par exécuter le reproducteur obligatoire avec npm ci et npm start, puis concentrez-vous sur le chemin de l’événement onChange de TextInput pour l’autocomplétion du navigateur/système sur Android. C’est terminé lorsque le texte rempli automatiquement signale une sélection à la fin de la valeur insérée, tandis que la saisie collée et le comportement sur iOS restent inchangés.
