Keyboard not showing up when input field is touched

    The keyboard does not show up when input field is selected. Instead a text area and an OK button is shown. On clicking the text area the keyboard pops up. This occurs in Android Pie devices when "Target API Level" is set to 28(highest installed). I have tested with Unity 2017.4.1f1 and 2018.2.20f1. How to resolve this issue?

    The same issue has been pointed out by another person in stackoverflow also.

    Downgrade your target API level to 27, fixed it for me. Not sure the solution for using 28+

    Unfortunately, this won't be a workaround for very long due to Google PlayStore requirements (https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk):
    I saw this issue ticket being marked as solved but someone commented that still happens with Unity 2018.4.2: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...putfield-is-touched-with-android-api-level-28

    Hi,
    I gave up a while ago on using only Unity's built-in GUI feature.
    I found from another forum this wonderful external plug-in:
    https://github.com/mopsicus/UnityMobileInput
    It works like a charm on mobile phone compare to default Unity Inputfield/Keyboard system.
    However, for those who can update to Unity 2019, this issue has been fixed. The keyboard is now showing up properly. They mentioned it on those update logs and I tested it.
    Wish you all good luck, working with unity's UI elements is a world of pain.

    Anyone found a solution to this issue? We are using 2019.6.1f and still happening on some Android devices, its annoying for the registration flow.

    @dominykasm still happening. So far only Google Pixel 3 and 4 devices have reported this issue, the input fields work fine for everyone else.

    My users are reporting this issue on their Pixel 4s using Android 11. They tap the input fields and no keyboard shows up.

    Project is using Unity Version 2019.3.9f1

    Tested with Unity 2018.4.16 & 2018.4.28 on Pixel 2 Android 11 (API 30) Emulator. Can be easily reproducible
