Current behavior:
Alert input autofocus keyboard not working properly on item tap. It shows up like 30% and then it hides again.

Expected behavior:
Alert input autofocus used to work properly before I updated my ionic version.

Related code:

<ion-item
    (tap)="showPromptNumber(player)">
    ......
</ion-item>

showPromptNumber(player: Player) {
    const number = (player.number == 0) ? '': player.number
    this.alertController.create({
      title: 'Edit Panel Number',
      message: `Enter the number for ${player.first_name} ${player.last_name}`,
      inputs: [{
        name: 'number',
        value: `${number}`,
        placeholder: 'Panel Number',
        type: 'tel'
      }],
      buttons: [....]
    }).present();
}

Only issue I have is the on item tap, the keyboard shows halfway and then goes back to hiding. When tapping the input though, it works properly (the .gif just shows it a bit awkward, but works properly).

I remembered adding this preference tag on my config.xml file before.

<preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="false" />

This made the autofocus worked before.

this.alertController.create(
...
)

});
