Why linking is needed

Unfortunately, the GameController framework is the only viable solution to obtain information about the keyboard and its connection. While there are other potential solutions, they are mostly workarounds and could be rejected by the App Store review process.

Usage

import {
  isKeyboardConnected,
  keyboardStatusListener,
  useIsKeyboardConnected,
} from 'react-native-is-keyboard-connected';

// ...

const isKeyboardConnected = useIsKeyboardConnected();

// Or you can handle it by your own

const removeListenerFn = keyboardStatusListener((e) => setResult(e.status));
isKeyboardConnected().then((isConnected) => setResult(isConnected));
