MDCTextField rightView property broken on iOS 13

I can't use the rightView property with MDCTextField anymore on iOS 13. Am I the only one having an issue with this?

The right view width cover the whole text field: preventing the user interaction and hiding the textView content.

No problem when I switch from MDCTextField to UITextField.

Solution

  • Add width constraint to the rightView/leftView.

    Don't forget to set translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

    rightView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
rightView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: <#NeededWidth#>).isActive = true
// This is enough to make it act like before but you can set other missing constraints like height to suppress layout warnings and prevent further issues.
// rightView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: <#HeightOfTheTextField#>).isActive = true

    You may notice some autolayout warnings in the consule because you didn't set the missing constraint for the rightView/leftView. So add missing constraints or simply ignore those.

    And note that if the rightView/leftView is some kind of StackView, try to putting it inside a view and then add this view instead.
