Advanced Input Field 2 hides content during screen sharing on Android 16 #17

Description

@nikki-tyagi

Hello,

We are using Advanced Input Field 2 in our Unity project and have observed an issue on Android 16 devices:

Whenever an input field (not just password fields) is active, the application content becomes hidden or blank during screen sharing or screen recording.

This appears to happen even when the field is configured as a standard text input, not a password.

On earlier Android versions, the issue does not occur.

For our use case, we need:

Input fields to behave normally during screen sharing (content visible).

Optional password masking (******) to remain available for password fields.

Questions:

Does Advanced Input Field 2 enable any Android flags or secure input modes internally that could cause this behavior on Android 16?

Is there a setting or boolean to disable the privacy/screen-blocking behavior while keeping the normal input functionality?

If this is caused by Android 16’s native input handling, what is the recommended approach to prevent the screen from going blank?

This behavior impacts all input fields, not only password fields, and is critical for applications that rely on screen sharing or remote demos.

Thank you for your guidance!
