Description

We are trying to fix all accessibility issues on our app, and noticed this warning with textinput with iOS Accessibility Inspector while running on audit

allowFontScaling={true} has no effect on this warning

<View style={{flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#fff'}}> <TextInput style={{padding: 20}} placeholder="Type here..." allowFontScaling={true}></TextInput> </View> </View>

How can we remove this warning?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run the below sample application on iOS simulator or a real device
  2. Select 'Accessibility inspector' from Xcode developer tools
  3. Run an audit on the screen
  4. Will get the below error for text input
    " Dynamic Text font sizes are unsupported. User will not be able to change the font size of this element"

Is there anything missing here?
