Description

When trying to use an application with a voiceover turned on and connected external bluetooth keyboard - no press events are fired. I'm using Touchable components for my buttons and they simply won't work on android. Moreover, with any other application on the device, everything works fine.

The same with the ios,. I can click any touchable element with external keyboard on the IOS.

Any thogughts what it might be ?
