Ionic4 - ion-input autofocus keyboard not showing

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi All,

I am using Ionic4.12.0. I am trying to archive the following:
when user opens my app, it will lead to sign in page. I want it to autofocus on the input and keyboard to show.

I am currently using autofocus=“true”, it shows the cursor on the input but the keyboard does not show. I tried applying <preference name=“KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction” value=“false” />, but it does not work as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi.

For android, it is actually working. For iOS, have to use ViewChild method to target input and setFocus() on it.
