Context
On iPads with a hardware keyboard (e.g., Magic Keyboard), iOS still fires
UIKeyboardWillShow/UIKeyboardDidShownotifications even when no software keyboard is displayed. Only the QuickType suggestion bar appears at the bottom of the screen.Currently, Capacitor interprets these events as a "real keyboard," resizing the
WKWebViewand causing visual glitches such as a black bar below the webview.On iOS 26, a similar issue occurs with liquid glass the new keyboard is transparent with rounded edges, which can render a black box underneath.

iPhone Example
Solution
A height threshold guard was added in
onKeyboardWillShowandonKeyboardDidShowin the iOSKeyboardPlugin:If
UIDevice.userInterfaceIdiom == .padandkeyboardHeight < 100px:WKWebView.keyboardHeight = 0to indicate “no real keyboard.”Otherwise, continue with normal resizing behavior.
