This seems to only be happening on iOS, tested mWeb chrome and safari and it's not reproducible

@srikarparsi It worked correctly on iOS 17.4. Could you please specify the iOS version you encountered issues with?

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Keyboard overlaps the attachment error pop-up and error pop-up is not visible

What is the root cause of that problem?

• When the PDF file encountered an error because it is corrupted file, we close the modal:
  

  App/src/components/AttachmentModal.tsx

  Line 566 in 6d70b10

  setIsModalOpen(false);

hence its onModalHide is called, which call:

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.tsx

Line 301 in 6d70b10

restoreKeyboardState();

hence the keyboard is displayed.

• Then we show the error modal:
  

  App/src/components/AttachmentModal.tsx

  Line 499 in 6d70b10

  setIsAttachmentInvalid(true);

  
  but now that modal is displayed behind the keyboard.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• We need to make sure when the pdf file encountered an error, it will:

Close attachment modal > Open error modal > Call onModalHide function

currently, the order is:

Close attachment modal > Call onModalHide function > Open error modal

• To do it:

App/src/components/AttachmentModal.tsx

Line 495 in 6d70b10

onModalHide();

should be:

                    if (!isPDFLoadError.current) {
                        onModalHide();
                    }

It will make sure if there is a pdf error, we don't call onModalHide, in other words, don't call the function to focus on the composer input restoreKeyboardState().

• And in here:
  

  App/src/components/AttachmentModal.tsx

  Line 614 in 6d70b10

  <ConfirmModal

  
  add a new prop

                    onModalHide={() => {
                        if (isPDFLoadError.current) {
                            isPDFLoadError.current = false;
                            onModalHide?.();
                        }
                    }}

It will call onModalHide?.(), in other words, call the function to focus on the composer restoreKeyboardState().

• Finally, remove:
  

  App/src/components/AttachmentModal.tsx

  Line 498 in 6d70b10

  isPDFLoadError.current = false;

• Because the AttachmentModal is used in a lot of positions in app, so we need to create a new flag prop and only apply the above changes if that flag is true to make sure it does not affect others.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@dominictb's proposal looks good to me!

There is only one issue that the keyboard appears on the screen for a brief moment just after the attachment modal closes. I think it will be hard to fix that (not sure).

@dominictb, could you look into it and share your thoughts?

@thesahindia I cannot reproduce this behavior when applying my solution. However, will try to reproduce it and fix in PR phase.
