Affected Platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Electron
• Web

Current Behavior

1. Add an ion-input on a page
2. Call focus on the input

@ViewChild('input') input: ElementRef<HTMLInputElement>;

ngAfterViewInit() {
    setTimeout(() => this.input.nativeElement.focus(), 500);
}

3. Run the app on an actual iPhone
4. Nothing happens. BUT if you switch to another app and come back to the your app, the input gets focus.

The same happens when calling setFocus on an ion-searchbar component.

Expected Behavior

The input should get focus when focus() is called.
