Hi,

At first, Ranorex 7.2.1 is way to old and no longer supported. I'm not quite sure how the recording of key-based actions worked in this version? However, because recording on mobile devices made the injected apps generally unstable, Ranorex decided to remove recording on mobile devices in 8.0. In other words, it's waste of time looking for a solution for your problem in 7.2.1, which is basically obsolete in recent versions ;) What you should do is to manually add "mobile key press" or "set value" action, as people do in 8.x. Hope this helps?
