 */

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
 Platform,
 StyleSheet,
 Text,
 View,
 TextInput

const instructions = Platform.select({
 ios: 'Press Cmd+R to reload,\n' +
 'Cmd+D or shake for dev menu',
 android: 'Double tap R on your keyboard to reload,\n' +
 'Shake or press menu button for dev menu',
});

export default class App extends Component<{}> {
 render() {
 return (
 <View style={styles.container}>
 <Text style={styles.welcome}>
 Welcome to React Native!
 </Text>
 <Text style={styles.instructions}>
 To get started, edit App.js
 </Text>
 <Text style={styles.instructions}>
 {instructions}
 </Text>
 <TextInput
 key='hi'
 autoFocus={true}
 keyboardType='numeric'
 />
 </View>
 );
 }

I think thats the numeric keyboard for ipads. On the phone it shows only numbers but I with an iPad its difficult to have an UI with just numbers. Can someone confirm this?

[gedeagas]

Yep, as @jayeszee mentioned this is the default behavior on iPad because apparently, it's "Hard" to have a UI with just numbers on iPad.

Thanks for posting this! It looks like you may not be using the latest version of React Native, v0.53.0, released on January 2018. Can you make sure this issue can still be reproduced in the latest version?

I am going to close this, but please feel free to open a new issue if you are able to confirm that this is still a problem in v0.53.0 or newer.

Think it's an iOS related.
