Description

When using WKWebView engine the iOS Soft Keyboard fails to automatically open when the 'autofocus' attribute is set.

How to recreate:
1. Add platform and keyboard plugin

cordova platform add ios@4.0.1
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-keyboard@1.1.3 --save

2. Update iOS keyboard to enable focus commands in 'config.xml':

<preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="false" />

3. Add textarea to test with autofocus attribute.

<textarea placeholder="Edit text" autofocus></textarea>

(Note: Before adding the WKWebView engine plugin the UIWebView will automatically open the Soft Keyboard.)

4. Add the WKWebView engine plugin

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine@1.0.1 --save

What happens:
Nothing.

What should happen:
The soft keyboard should open automatically (the same a UIWebView)
