Issue and Reproduction Steps

Hi! I have updated the react native version from 0.68.5 to 0.72.0 the flipper and other dependencies are updated successfully.

I am facing this issue

-[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a valid sessionID

while I am running the iOS app in release mode in Simulator (iPhone 15 - iOS 17.0), due to which I am not able to proceed further in the application.

The debug build works fine.

Attached screenshot is of the log that I am getting while clicking on a button after giving input to a TextInput

also dealing with this issue. I believe the same issue has been addressed on Apple forum https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/731700 and on StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77165006/searchable-swiftui-on-ios-17-cause-an-error-invalid-numeric-value but no solution has been proposed yet. I get the same log when I click a TextInput on the simulator.

anyone looking into this issue?

[justinflint]

@geekabhinavp I'm facing the same issue in .NET MAUI. Got some folks looking into it - I'll try to post helpful content here once the solution is found.

Bummer, I have this same issue in my app when I try to use my "sell" button in the simulator which should subtract from an array I made..hopefully we can solve it.

You are likely destroying/recreating the component on re-rendering. Hard to say for sure what the issue is without any reproduction code.

If you are doing something like this where you define an input inline, i.e.

App() {
 const InlineInput = () => <TextInput /> // Move this outside of the function definition.

  return (
   <InlineInput />
  )
}

You will see this error.

Previous versions of RN/iOS didn't seem to mind this, but now it's causing problems. My opinion is this is not a bug, but an implementation issue. Native devs see this too when they use LazyVStacks that recycle.

Hope that helps

Same thing happens to me even with HTML textarea/inputs. Tried with webview element in as root level (app/_layout.tsx) but it didn't help.

[joshuagodwin]

same issue, "react-native": "0.71.14", expo 0.7.3 even if nothing but textinput surrounded by view with no other code will still get error when press on text input in simulator: [RemoteTextInput] -[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a valid sessionID

update: worked with reset to metro.

@joshuagodwin can you elaborate your solution please, currently having the same issue in development

Seems that issue only happens when you use physical keyboard on ios simulator, try to use "Software keyboard" from simulator. Menu bar > I/O > Keyboard > Toggle Software Keyboard.

I tried it... It still remain... But if its just a development warning, then no problem. :)
