Input does not work on iOS

Steps to reproduce

I'm working with NativeBase on a current project and I noticed that Input component it's not working on iOS (even on real device).

I created a new project from scratch to test, which is the one on the minimal example, and it didn't work as well. See the video below.

Same issue here. Upgrading react-native via expo 52 upgrade breaks the native-base input fields.

Let us know if you manage to find a solution, I'll do the same but so far no results :/

[spenavajr]

Yep. Same here. using Native Base with Expo SDK 52.0.7 & React Native 0.76.2. Can't focus on Input elements, however it works after switching to React Native TextInput

I really hope Native Base is not completely broken after this upgrade.

Making everybody aware of this thread too: facebook/react-native#41801

I have a similar issue, i update expo to version 52.0.7 and now the Input is not working on IOS, when i pulse on it the keyboard hides automatically

Passing the "isInvalid" property resolved the issue, but since the input remained in an invalid state, its borders turned red.

<Input isInvalid />

I believe this is not the best solution, but to quickly fix this bug, I had to edit the Native Base theme and override the 'error' color with the desired one.

const theme = extendTheme({
  colors: {
    error: {
      50: '#5F2568',
      100: '#5F2568',
      200: '#5F2568',
      300: '#5F2568',
      400: '#5F2568',
      500: '#5F2568',
      600: '#5F2568',
      700: '#5F2568',
      800: '#5F2568',
      900: '#5F2568',
    },
  },
});

@matheusbin have you dug into the native base code to see what IsInvalid does to make the component work again? maybe there's a patch we could make on the inputs to mimic it.

I have had zero time with work lately to dig into this, but I will look when I can.

[aaronleo28]

it's due some of the styling added to the wrapper Stack component

you can override this with the _stack prop, eg <Input _stack={{ style: {} }} />

long term it's probably best to use a different UI component lib

[aaronleo28]

Input.tsx

import { IInputProps, Input as NBInput } from 'native-base';
import React, { forwardRef } from 'react';

export const Input = forwardRef<typeof NBInput, IInputProps>((props, ref) => (
  <NBInput _stack={{ style: {} }} ref={ref ?? undefined} {...props} />
));

I made this wrapper component for convenience

[shankarRxo]

_stack={{ style: {} }}

This works for me, Thanks

is there a deadline or is anyone already working on this fix? The above solutions haven't worked for me yet...

_stack={{ style: {} }} - worked for me

I've given up on using NativeBase's Input and switched to React Native's built-in Input.
