ios react-native passwords autofill

I've done some research but, at the time of writing, I cannot find any way of a React Native app integrating with the new iOS 11 password autofilling system.

Do we need to use entitlement certificates (as mentioned here: Password AutoFill for iOS App and https://willowtreeapps.com/ideas/password-autofill-in-ios-11)

The part I'm not sure is how that integrates with React Native?!

Answer

Unfortunately this requires React Native's TextInput to bridge the native UITextContentType. The good news is that there is an open pull request that will add this functionality:

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/18526

Once merged, you can support the password auto-fill like so:

<TextInput
    value={this.state.username}
    textContentType="username"
/>
<TextInput
    value={this.state.password}
    secureTextEntry={true}
    textContentType="password"
/>
