[Bug] External Keyboard input is not registered on iOS #5740

Description

@Rocketeer007

Summary

Keyboard input using an external, physical keyboard is not registered by iOS builds of CodenameOne apps.

This is known to have been working fine in v7.0.206, and known to be broken from v7.0.251 to v7.0.269 - but the actual release of CN1 where this broke is currently unknown.

Edge cases tested:

  • iPad Magic Keyboard - input not registered
  • Bluetooth keyboard - input not registered
  • Input in "CodeRAD" input field not registered
  • Input in BrowserComponent (i.e. <input> in HTML) not registered

Minimal reproducer

This seems to be common to all CN1 apps, so should be reproducible with a bare app from the Initializer. Will confirm.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Build & Run the CN1 app
  2. Connect an external keyboard (e.g. iPad Magic Keyboard or bluetooth keyboard)
  3. Attempt to type in a text field
