How to disable "Oculus overlay keyboard disabled" error from System log?

We are currently using a custom keyboard UI in our application since the system keyboard doesn't close properly when we click the enter/return/confirm button on the right (it opens right back up again and doesn't type anything). However, whenever we interact with a input field we get the following "error" message in the logs:

Error: Oculus overlay keyboard is disabled, add 'oculus.software.overlay_keyboard' feature request to your Android manifest.

Is there a way to disable this message or prevent input fields from triggering the system keyboard?

    Hi onenightblitz did you found the solution for this issue ? , we are having the same issue with custom keyboard ui even after removing overlay keyboard permission from manifest file. and the default keyboard is not closing properly when clicking confirm button on right.

    I just found a solution for the error onenightblitz , if you are using textmesh pro input field in unity then is an option in input field called "HideSoftKeyboard" .enable this and you wont get the above error and can use custom keyboard ui.

    ... since the system keyboard doesn't close properly when we click the enter/return/confirm button on the right (it opens right back up again and doesn't type anything)

    We are facing the same problem. Is there a fix available for the system keyboard?
