[iOS Web] TextField does not advance to next input field via up/down arrow #96199

@Simpler1

Description

@Simpler1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Execute flutter build web on the code sample
  2. Open the web page from a browser on an Apple mobile device
  3. Enter some digits in Input 1 field
  4. Notice that the "next" button (which is displayed as a down arrow) is insensitive and will not progress to the Input 2 field

Expected results:
The "next" button should progress to the next input field

Actual results:
Insensitive "next" button

Code sample
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Flutter Web on Mobile'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Padding(
          padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8.0),
          child: Column(
            mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.start,
            children: <Widget>[
              const Text(
                  'Build this for web and then open the web page from a mobile device. Enter some text in the Input 1 field and then notice that the "Next" button (the arrow down) does not progress to the next field.'),
              Form(
                key: _formKey,
                child: Column(
                  children: [
                    TextFormField(
                      textInputAction: TextInputAction.next,
                      decoration: const InputDecoration(
                        labelText: 'Input 1',
                      ),
                      keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
                    ),
                    TextFormField(
                      textInputAction: TextInputAction.done,
                      decoration: const InputDecoration(
                        labelText: 'Input 2',
                      ),
                    )
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
Additional Info
This problem/UI is specific to Apple devices, but Android has a similar problem with the "return/Go/Next" key on the keyboard itself.
I have tried this on multiple mobile browsers on Apple devices including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera, DuckDuckGo and all have the problem.
