Autocapitalization constant {noformat} Ti.UI.TEXT_AUTOCAPITALIZATION_WORDS {noformat} is not working on iOS devices. Text typed on texfield shows no capitalization at all. Android is working fine.

Can you provide a test-case (contents of a simple app.js test-case)? That would speed-up the review process, thx!

How can I attach files here?

Just paste the code here, that's fine.

Here is a test case. TextField with autocapitalization: Ti.UI.TEXT_AUTOCAPITALIZATION_WORDS not capitalizing anything.

Works for me:

   
   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: '#fff'
   });
   
   var fullName = Ti.UI.createTextField({
       width: 300,
       height: 48,
       autocapitalization: Ti.UI.TEXT_AUTOCAPITALIZATION_WORDS,
       hintText: 'Full Name',
       backgroundColor: "#f0f0f0"
   });
   
   win.add(fullName);
   win.open();

Maybe one of the other properties intercepts the property? We don't do anything with the constant, just passing it to the native object.

Will try to remove one property at a time. But, still, it should work with all the properties I've set.

@Hans I discovered that this property {noformat}keyboardType: Ti.UI.KEYBOARD_TYPE_NAMEPHONE_PAD{noformat} makes autocapitalization stop working. Is there a workaround for this?
Hans Knöchel 2017-03-23

Hey Caio, sorry to say that but it looks like native behavior. iOS seems to disallow word-capitalization of words when using this specific keyboard type. Native test-project attached to this ticket. To workaround the native limitation, you could check the words and capitalize them manually. I may be able to help you there, but please try it before. Thanks!

Hans, thanks for the fast feedback. I will see what I can do here to workaround this.
