I couldn't reproduce this on the emulator, but it's reproducible on a physical device. This is a browser limitation for mobile Safari. Apple blocks any programmatic focus that was not invoked in response to a user gesture.

Not sure if there is anything that we can do here.

You're right and there's nothing that can be done. My opinion is, we should close this one.

Thanks for the comment @mananjadhav! Closing since there's no action to be taken.
