React Native Elements - Wrapping a touchable opacity around an input does not work in IOS

Question

I am having a very peculiar issue with React Native Elements Text Input along with using touchable opacity.

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, View, Dimensions } from 'react-native';
import { Input } from 'react-native-elements';

const test = () => (
  <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => console.log('we hit here')}>
    <Input disabled>
      {children}
    </Input>
  </TouchableOpacity>
)

export default test;

So the outer rim of the input field is completely clickable, however, the center of the component, it cannot be clicked.

This works perfectly for android however.

Any ideas

if anyone has this issue, then the you need to supply a pointerEvents to 'none' for the entire component to be clickable:

<View pointerEvents='none'>
<Input disabled>
      {children}
    </Input>
</View>
