Solution:
Instead of
onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}
onResponderRelease={Keyboard.dismiss}

do sth like

import { GestureDetector, Gesture } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import { Keyboard } from 'react-native';

const dismissKeyboardGesture = Gesture.Tap()
.onStart(() => {
Keyboard.dismiss();
});

{...

}
