Description
Description
When entering text into an email TextField (textContentType="emailAddress"), the "Hide my Email" suggestion behaves incorrectly on a plugged in iOS device (using Apple ID with iCloud+ and thus "Hide my Email" feature):
"Hide my Email" is suggested twice. Selecting the first "Hide my email" incorrectly inserts the string "Hide my email" into the text field.
See attached screen recording.
Steps to reproduce
- Clone https://github.com/troyshu/expo-text-input-test
- Plug in iOS device, enable USB debugging

Research direction
Start with the linked expo-text-input-test reproducer: run npm install and npm run ios:device on a plugged-in iOS device, then inspect the email TextInput behavior. Confirm whether the Hide my Email suggestion appears twice and whether selecting the first suggestion inserts its label; done means the incorrect insertion and duplicate suggestion no longer occur.
