What’s happening?
The number input control in canvas apps on iOS does not allow users to input negative numbers and does not switch automatically between numeric and text keyboards.


Reason:
The behavior of the number input control is by design, where the default key for the number input does not allow customization to include negative numbers. Additionally, there is no built-in functionality to switch from the numeric keyboard back to the text keyboard automatically.


Resolution:

  • Users can click another area on the screen to close the numeric keyboard and then open the text keyboard.
  • A custom toggle can be added to switch between the numeric and text keyboards. This toggle can change the VirtualKeyboardMode from Text to Numeric based on user input.
