Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an Expo app using @clerk/expo and render AuthView on Android.
2. Focus the email input field.
3. Press the return/enter key on the keyboard.
4. Press it a few more times and continue typing.

Expected behavior:

The email input should behave like a standard single-line email field.

• Pressing return should dismiss the keyboard, submit, or otherwise trigger a normal single-line input action.
• It should not insert newline characters into the email field.

Actual behavior:

On Android, pressing return inserts a newline into the email input instead of dismissing the keyboard.

• The field accepts multiple newline characters.
• You can continue typing after the newline.
• This makes the email input behave like a multiline field, which seems incorrect for an email input.

On iOS, pressing return closes the keyboard, which seems like the correct behavior.

NOTE: Separate issue, but possibly worth noting: tapping outside the input does not dismiss the keyboard on either iOS or Android.
