Summary

Tapping the + button currently calls setIsInserterOpened(true) on the editor store, which momentarily renders Gutenberg's web inserter UI before the native dialog covers it — a visible flash on slower devices. Call prepareAndShowInserter() directly instead; the redux flag isn't useful when the inserter is rendered natively.

Test plan

  • On Android (or iOS), with enableNativeBlockInserter on, tap the + toolbar button
  • Native inserter dialog appears immediately, no flash of the web inserter behind it
  • The dialog still closes correctly via the X button (still goes through onToggle(false) from window.blockInserter.onClose)

Tapping the `+` button currently calls `setIsInserterOpened(true)` in
