How can I get email autocomplete suggestions for iOS in React Native with textContentType?
RN 0.57.x exposes iOS's textContentType, so I should be able to get our app to suggest the user's email in a TextInput. This makes the initial experience much smoother because the user doesn't have to type their email address to create an account.
However, setting textContentType to "emailAddress" and keyboardType to "email-address" has no effect.
How can I get the user's personal email addresses suggested in the input control?

textContentType suggests email and/or other data from the device keychain. Are you sure the email is listed in the keychain?

@Ismailp Keychain data just shows usernames and logins - I thought there would be a way to auto-suggest e.g. an email from the user's Contact Card since the user would be typing that over and over. Is that not the case? (This is for a new account so I don't think the keychain will be useful.)

I'm not sure if that is possible, but haven't dug that deep in the fetching of email specifically.
