I’m seeing a weird iOS Password AutoFill behavior in React Native and I’m trying to figure out whether this is:
expected iOS behavior,
a known React Native TextInput issue, or
something I can work around.
Setup:
React Native 0.81.5
iOS app with Associated Domains configured and working
Password AutoFill generally works fine
two fields on a login screen:
username/email: autoComplete="username"
password: autoComplete="current-password"
What happens:
when the login screen opens, the iOS autofill bar above the keyboard shows the saved credential suggestion as expected
as soon as I type a single character into the username field, the autofill bar goes blank instead of continuing to show a suggestion
if I press delete while the field is already empty, the autofill suggestion flickers
Important detail:
autofill itself is not completely broken
Associated Domains are set up and credential suggestions do appear
the issue is specifically the unstable behavior of the autofill bar while editing
Question:
has anyone seen this with React Native TextInput on iOS?
is this just how iOS reevaluates credential suggestions once the username starts changing?
or is there a known RN-side trigger here, for example controlled inputs, secureTextEntry, rerenders, focus changes, or textContentType / autoComplete combinations?
