Unable to recreate on my app. I'm not sure what could cause this. It looks like a code issue based on what I can find about it online. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62051371/react-native-android-keyboard-empty-space. I'm hoping an engineer can help us figure it out.

So there's a huge space between the keyboard and the content? And this is in all androids? And it is in production?
If so, how did this get past QA @mvtglobally ?
