autoComplete='off' does not disables the autocomplete in Android

[ngima]

Description

According to doc it says

Specifies autocomplete hints for the system, so it can provide autofill. On Android, the system will always attempt to offer autofill by using heuristics to identify the type of content. To disable autocomplete, set autoComplete to off.

However with following code snippet, in Android we still get the autocomplete Hint.

<TextInput autoComplete='off' />

Currently I am using keyboardType={'visible-password'} as workaround.

But one limitation with this is I can't have multiline with enter key.
