iOS disable keyboard input for mode="time"

[Eugene Nagorny]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch @react-native-community/datetimepicker@7.2.0 for the project I'm working on.

This disables the keyboard input on the mode="time" which many of our users thought is a bug :-/ and this doesn't play well with the https://github.com/mmazzarolo/react-native-modal-datetime-picker

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

Hi friend.
I had the same problem. Thank you for your solution.

Could you tell, please, is it way to prevent time color changing on press on selected time?
