Set focus to Entry control to trigger keyboard in .NET MAUI app - maui

Question

I'm trying to set focus to an Entry control when a page loads to automatically trigger the keyboard.
However, while the Entry control receives focus (caret blinking) if done during Loaded event, the keyboard doesn't appear.
If done only in the Appearing event, the caret doesn't even appear.
My page has a single Entry like:
<StackLayout>
<Entry x:Name="RoundsEntry" Keyboard="Numeric" />
</StackLayout>
In the code-behind, I'm setting focus during the Loaded event:
public RoundsPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
Loaded += RoundsPage_Loaded;
// For Shell navigation, the Appearing event makes more sense,
// as page is only loaded once, but we want the Entry control
// to receive focus every time the user returns to the page.
Appearing += RoundsPage_Loaded;
}
private void RoundsPage_Loaded(object? sender, EventArgs e)
{
RoundsEntry.Focus();
}
Manually tapping the Entry control (even though it already has focus) does trigger the keyboard.
Am I missing something, or is there some other option to programmatically trigger (and later hide) the keyboard?
(Tested on Android.)
Edit: seems related to this issue on GitHub, so I think I'm looking for a viable workaround until it's fixed.

I think it's a question or a bug of which piece of version. Such as Visual Studio, .NET ...
Here is the code：
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
Loaded += MainPage_Loaded;
}
private void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
entry.Focus();
}
}
<VerticalStackLayout>        
<Entry x:Name="entry" Keyboard="Numeric"/>    
</VerticalStackLayout>
