Keyboard closes during a clock render while trying to use TextInput

[loperman-jack]

I am using react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view and everything is working well. I have a TextInput working with the keyboard and scroll of my view.

However, I have a clock component somewhere inside my KeyboardAwareScrollView and it refreshes every second. This causes a rendering which automatically closes the keyboard.

Is there a way to force the keyboard to stay visible while the clock is rendering?

I've tried keyboardShouldPersistTaps with handled and always but that doesn't seem to fix the issue. I've also tried blurOnSubmit to false in the TextInput.
