I have the same issue. I think its because on the first click, the textInput loses focus, and then its only the second click that is recognised as the onPress event.
This isn't ideal - is there a way to make the click recognised even though the text input is focussed?

@rickardinho @cr21
This was happening to me because I had this control inside ScrollView.
Using keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled" on ScrollView seems to fix it

[cr21]

Yes I found hack , you need to change in node modules for that

@cr21 Did you solve the problem ?

If you are still facing this issue @EstebanBP solved the issue for me.
wrap the GooglePlacesAutocomplete inside a Scrollview and add
keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
