Any possibility for text input on iOS?

[matthk]

Hello everyone
In the WebAssembly-wiki I read among other things the following:

"Note: There is currently no support for text input using the virtual keyboard. Safari currently does not support wasm modules of the size Qt produces."

Does this mean that there is no possibility to use the keyboard provided by (in my case) iOS or does this only refer to the VirtualKeyboard from Qt? Are there any text input options at all on iOS?

The simplest attempts with text input fields in QML work fine on PC but no keyboard comes up on my iPhone. All experiments were hosted on a real web server for testing.

I wanted to write a small todo web application that works with a database and then host it on my server but without text input I can forget it unfortunately.

I'm currently using Qt 6.2.2 with WebAssembly.

I have been working on getting native mobile keyboards working, but it has not yet been merged.
It needs more work, as recent changes that are going in, conflict with this one.

Hopefully in Qt 6.3

Ok, thank you for the info. I can wait patiently and wish you good luck. I can still write my small web application, it will work on the PC. The final deployment on the server will have to wait.

Is it too much to ask for a short explanation of the problem with the text input?

Short explanation is that the webassembly qpa plugin has no support for the input context. :)
