Any way to make a test for this?

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/ios/WKContentViewInteraction.mm:6669
> +- (void)preserveFocus
> +{
> +    [_webView _incrementFocusPreservationCount];
> +}
> +
> +- (void)releaseFocus
> +{
> +    [_webView _decrementFocusPreservationCount];
> +}

Is there any risk that a WKContentView could be deallocated before releaseFocus is called, or have _webView set to null or any new value before this is called?

Often, designs like this one can be dangerous if a stale count can be left behind. There are techniques to make them more resilient, like using objects and weak pointers, that are most costly but more foolproof.

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/ios/forms/WKFormInputControl.mm:341
> +        if (_view.focusedElementInformation.elementType == InputType::Time || _view.focusedElementInformation.elementType == InputType::DateTimeLocal)
> +            [_view releaseFocus];

Maybe we could use a boolean _preservingFocus rather than repeating this check here. That way there’s no risk of the check in controlBeginEditing being out of sync with this one.

Could harden this slightly by wrapping this in:

    if (!_preservingFocus) {
    }
