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
  1. Clone https://github.com/troyshu/expo-text-input-test
  2. Plug in iOS device, enable USB debugging
  3. npm install then npm run ios:device to run on device
  4. Try to enter an email in the email field.

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.
