# Presenting a Sheet from a Popover Will Disable the Keyboard in iOS (SwiftUI Bug)

> This is occurring as of Xcode 15.3 (15E204a) on simulator and device

There is a situation in [Lyrcs](https://lyrcs.app) where:

1. `UITextView` has keyboard focus
    
2. Popover appears from a button tap
    
3. Sheet appears from the popover
    

When the user dismisses the sheet and popover, `UITextView` will no longer have keyboard focus but the user can **no longer** make the keyboard appear by tapping on the `UITextView` . If the user holds down on the text input then the caret appears but still no keyboard. Even when using iOS simulator, characters typed with the macOS keyboard do not appear in the text input.

This occurs with any keyboard focus element; `UITextField`, `TextField`, `TextEditor` etc.

This is demonstrated with the following sample code:

```swift
struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var text = ""
    @State private var isPopoverPresented: Bool = false
    @State private var isSheetPresented: Bool = false

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("Show Popover") {
                isPopoverPresented = true
            }
            .popover(isPresented: $isPopoverPresented, content: {
                Button("Show Sheet") {
                    isSheetPresented = true
                }
                    .presentationCompactAdaptation(.popover)
                    .sheet(isPresented: $isSheetPresented, content: {
                        Text("I am a sheet")
                    })
            })
            TextField("Enter text", text: $text)
        }
    }
}
```

Until this is fixed, [Lyrcs](https://lyrcs.app) uses the following workaround (placed on the `VStack`) which dismisses the keyboard when the popover is presented:

```swift
extension View {
    func workaround_dismissKeyboardWhenPopoverAppears(isPopoverPresented: Bool) -> some View {
        onChange(of: isPopoverPresented) { previous, new in
            if new, new != previous {
                UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder),
                                                    to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)
            }
        }
    }
}
```
