Could happen the same issue with the SearchBar?, could you verify?

Could happen the same issue with the SearchBar?, could you verify?
No, the same behavior does not occur with the search bar. When the SearchBar's Visibility is set to Collapsed, it appropriately hides the keyboard as expected. This behavior has been applied consistently to Entry and Editor, ensuring uniform handling across these components.

Can we include a VerifyScreenshot to also check the Entry Visibility?

As per your suggestion, I have included the VerifyScreenshot to validate the visibility of the editors. Let me know if you have any further concerns. Thanks!
Root Cause (Android)
When the Entry control is hidden, the soft keyboard remains active, and any text typed is queued and applied when the control becomes visible again. This is due to platform-specific keyboard input handling, which operates independently of control visibility.
Root Cause (iOS)
The soft keyboard remains visible and the focus persists even when the Entry control is hidden. Any text typed while the control is hidden is applied when the control becomes visible again, due to platform-specific behavior in managing focus and keyboard input.
Description of Change
Added platform-specific handling to dismiss the soft keyboard and remove focus when the Entry or Editor visibility is set to False. This prevents any new input from being queued and ensures that the keyboard is cleared when the control is hidden, restoring a clean state upon visibility restoration on Android and iOS.
