TextInput contextMenuHidden prop not working for double tap

[musi1024]

Description

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with the TextInput component. When I set the contextMenuHidden prop to true, I expect the default context menu to be disabled and not appear when double tapping on the input field. However, the context menu still appears on double tap.

Expected behavior:
The default context menu should not appear when double tapping on the input field.

Actual behavior:
The default context menu still appears when double tapping on the input field.

Environment:
Operating system: [e.g. Android]
React Native version: 0.67.2

I didn't found a proper solution for Android so i handled it through code
Just don't allow user to select text in the text input

This is what I did

I still have this issue on 0.72.3.

[fabOnReact]

Do you still experience this issue?

I have four years of experience maintaining facebook/react-native and I specialize in the Text and TextInput components. I currently have 58 facebook/react-native PRs.

If you still experience this issue, I will prepare a patched release with the fix.

Thanks a lot

Hey @fabOnReact
I'm still facing this issue on 0.72.4
It would be great if you could add a fix for this. Thank you!

Hi @fabOnReact
It is also happening for me on 0.72.6

This issue is fixed here: PR #45014

[arthedza]

@alanleedev Thanks! What release will this fix go into?

[alanleedev]

@arthedza This will be released in 0.76 as it did not make the branch cut for 0.75.

[Lakston]

will this patch be rolled out on earlier versions too ? Since 0.76 will bump ios minimum version to iOS 15.1, updating to 0.76 is not a viable solution for a lot of projects.

@Lakston We can backport it to 0.75, 0.74, 0.73. Will update here once it is released.

[Lakston]

Great news thanks, we are using 73 at the moment but I have the update to 75 in sight (since we can't update to 76, that would cut off too many users on our end) 👍

[Lakston]

Follow up, I just saw that react native patches 75.4 just came out including this fix, thanks 👍
