native.newTextField - disable autocorrect

#1

I don’t see anything in the API docs, but does anyone know if there’s a way to disable autocorrect (iOS specifically) on a native.newTextField.

There currently isn’t a way to disable auto correct, though we did disable auto caps on the email keyboard in a recent daily build.

Thanks Rob; A workaround I’ve implemented is to record the current value of the text field at every ‘editing’ event and use the last value from that instead of using the value after the ‘submitted’ event. It doesn’t prevent the autosuggest from appearing, but it does keep it from automatically accepting.
