It's a known issue and there was a try to migrate this - JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core#1099

The problem is in low-level sync between native view layout and metal layer rendering.

The current workaround is to disable platform layers via

ComposeUIViewController(
    configure = { platformLayers = false }
)

Worked fine, but as a side effect now the user should handle the keyboad when showing dialogs.

@cmpeguerog My problem is something similar to this, but as you can see in the image below, the BasicAlertDialog is below the keyboard.

I have already added the ComposeUIViewController

configure = {
platformLayers = false
onFocusBehavior = OnFocusBehavior.DoNothing
},

In Android

How did you get the dialog to resize correctly?

Another strange thing is that the density of text and component sizes on iOS seems to get bigger.

[cmpeguerog]

@SirFilbido I just added the platformLayers = false.

@cmpeguerog Does your BasicAlertDialog have any settings in the Modifier?
