Description

Description

With app lock set to Device lock (in my case it is Face ID), when I open the app (or other authentication, for example to enter app lock settings) the "hide content screen" is relatively slow to disappear after authentication is successful. The delay is small, but noticeable.

To make it clearer what I expect, you can set "Focus search on app start". With this option, the keyboard appears before the codes, I expect to see codes the moment the keyboard pops up.

Research direction
Investigate the UI transition after authentication on iOS. The delay occurs when the 'hide content screen' disappears. Look at the code handling app lock and authentication state changes. Use Flutter DevTools to profile rendering and identify the cause. Check any animations or state rebuilds that might be blocking the UI.
