Not work on physical device

I have tried textInputContextIdentifier and textInputMode but not work in physical device(test on ios 16.6.1), I think you need to use a custom implemented emoji picker instead.

react-native-emoji-textinput

Still in development, please don't use it now.

Show ios native emoji keyboard

Why this

There are already js-implemented emoji picker components for usage, but I prefer using native solution for better performance, so I created this component.

Limitation

• Only for ios now
• Only wrapped for single-line text-input component, if you want to support multi-line text-input, just open an issue. (I think it's more promising to put this feature into react-native)
• I haven't found a way to hide the globe(language-switch) icon below the ios keyboard, tell me if you found a way.

Installation

npm install react-native-emoji-textinput
npx pod-install

Usage

Use just like normal TextInput component except multiline prop Not a truly TextInput wrapper

import { EmojiTextinputView } from "react-native-emoji-textinput";

<EmojiTextinputView {...propsForTextInput} />
