@ruminder90 i need a simple repro example to fix it. And not in Angular it adds too much making it really hard to debug

[ruminder90]

It working fine with the sample application I created, however in my other project I am not able to edit the username field after entering the password. There were not much logs, only logs related to "unable to simultaneously constraints". However on making secure=false, everything works fine. Can any one tell me what could be possible cause creating the issue.

Hi, could this be related to the following?

https://github.com/material-components/material-components-ios/issues/10130 [TextFields] MDCTextField crashes in iOS 14 when "Done" keyboard button is pressed with secure text entry on

@chuckmitchell i see might be it. I started the migration to the new comp but it was still missing a lot of "features". The code is here. If you want to have a go at it ... I dont have much time those days

Facing a similar issue with the secure text field - have anyone fixed it or have any workaround?

[lostation]

Same here... I hate iOS... it's always before my public release that this kind of fuc*** skd14 is making me crazy.... I cannot publish an app with clear password.... please...

[lostation]

I've temporary replace all my "secure" MD input with simple NS Textfield....the secure is ok for those one.

@lostation @akanksha0514 @chuckmitchell could you try 5.3.4-alpha.0+3df91bf4 ? It has the new implementation of the textfield. Not sure it is perfect yet though
