In #18936 we decided to deprecate
focusTextInput
andblurTextInput
but since then I found a valid use case for it that is pretty much impossible to implement otherwise.React Navigation uses it to blur / re-focus the input during the swipe back gesture. Blur can be done with Keyboard.dismiss but without this api we cannot re-focus the text field that was focused if the swipe back gesture is cancelled. See https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation/blob/master/src/navigators/createKeyboardAwareNavigator.js#L21-L34
I think it is best to just bring back this api.
Test Plan:
Tested that the warning is now gone and that keyboard dismissal / re-open works properly in an app that uses react-navigation.
Release Notes:
[GENERAL] [ENHANCEMENT] [TextInput] - Un-deprecate TextInput.State.focusTextInput and TextInput.State.blurTextInput
