Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

iOS - Composer - No copy paste option in edit mode

What is the root cause of that problem?

We recently introduce the logic of hiding context menu for Composer text input with contextMenuHidden in #32711

We already implemented it for the main composer however we forgot to implement onTouchStart for the composer of ReportActionItemMessageEdit which makes the showSoftInputOnFocus is always undefined and because of that the condition inside native composer is never called:

    useEffect(() => {
        if (!showSoftInputOnFocus || !isKeyboardShown) {
            return;
        }
        setContextMenuHidden(false);
    }, [showSoftInputOnFocus, isKeyboardShown]);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Just implement the logic of onTouchStart for the composer of ReportActionItemMessageEdit too:

     onTouchStart={() => {
                        if (showSoftInputOnFocus) {
                            return;
                        }
                        if (Browser.isMobileSafari()) {
                            setTimeout(() => {
                                setShowSoftInputOnFocus(true);
                            }, CONST.ANIMATED_TRANSITION);
                            return;
                        }
                        setShowSoftInputOnFocus(true);
                    }}
