 ### 🐛 Bug fixes
 
+- [Android] Fix a drag that starts on a hosted `TextInput` not scrolling the `ScrollView` around it. React Native's text input asks its ancestors not to intercept the gesture, then releases them one move later, and Jetpack Compose read that release as "Compose claimed the gesture" and cancelled the hosted subtree. `RNHostView` no longer passes such a release on to Compose.
 - [Android] Fix the system status bar and navigation bar turning light while a `BottomSheet` or `ModalBottomSheet` with a custom dark background is open. A custom container color matches no color-scheme role, so the default content color fell back to black and Material3 themed the sheet window's system bars from it. The default content color is now derived from the container color's luminance, so it also contrasts with a custom background. ([#49394](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49394) by [@expo-bot](https://github.com/expo-bot))
 - [iOS] Fixed a crash when a focused `TextField` or `SecureField` is unmounted inside a list row that is being removed, for example closing a modal with the keyboard up on a field nested in `SwipeActions`. Hosted text inputs now blur before React removes their native views. ([#49348](https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/49348) by [@nishan](https://github.com/intergalacticspacehighway)) ([#49357](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49357) by [@expo-tuft[bot]](https://github.com/apps/expo-tuft))
 - Fixed the keyboard staying open when tapping outside a text field hosted by `<Host>`. A parent `ScrollView`'s tap-to-dismiss, its `keyboardShouldPersistTaps` setting, and `Keyboard.dismiss()` now reach hosted text fields. React Native treats the whole `<Host>` as the input, so a tap on other content inside the same host still keeps the keyboard open.
