Android - Disable context menu for TextInput component

[celestk]

Introduction

For ios - contextMenuHidden prop has been working perfectly fine for textInput component

For android, there is no straight-forward way to disable this context menu

Details

As above.
Many pentesting consultants have advised us to disable copy paste. using Clipboard.setString('') is now triggering this unsightly copy popup on android 13

Discussion points

Are there plans to fix this? or can someone recommend the best way to disable copy paste for android?

If you set pointerEvents="none" on a View surrounding the TextInput it will prevent the context menu from displaying:

<View removeClippedSubviews pointerEvents="none">
  <TextInput contextMenuHidden />
</View>

This will work for iOS, Android, and web

Disabling pointer events will also prevent the keyboard from poping up on input press, which is not a viable solution

As mentioned, this will prevent the keyboard from showing up after user press it.
