Relatively new to Flutter. I'm trying to implement a login form and am encountering an issue where input in a TextField from an iOS device is disappearing upon selection of anything outside of the TextField.

This behaviour is observed both on a real iOS device, and also on the simulator. When not using the iOS keyboard on the simulator (using my MacBook keyboard) the issue does not occur. The issue also does not occur on an Android simulator, a Chrome web app or a MacOS app.

Here is my Widget

class LoginForm extends ConsumerWidget {
  const LoginForm({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    var emailController = TextEditingController();
    var passwordController = TextEditingController();
    ref.listen<AsyncValue>(loginControllerProvider, (previous, next) {
      if (next is AsyncError) {
        ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(SnackBar(
            content: Text(next.error.toString()), backgroundColor: Colors.red));
      }
    });
    return Scaffold(
        body: CustomScrollView(slivers: [
      SliverAppBar(
          pinned: true,
          snap: false,
          floating: false,
          expandedHeight: (MediaQuery.of(context).size.height -
                  MediaQuery.of(context).padding.bottom) /
              2,
          flexibleSpace: const FlexibleSpaceBar(
              title: Text("foo"), background: FlutterLogo())),
      SliverList(
          delegate: SliverChildListDelegate([
        const SizedBox(height: 12),
        const Center(
            child: Text(
          'Welcome back',
          style: TextStyle(
            fontSize: 24,
            fontWeight: FontWeight.bold,
          ),
        )),
        const SizedBox(height: 12),
        const Center(
            child: Text(
          'Login to manage your account.',
          style: TextStyle(
            fontSize: 14,
          ),
        )),
        const SizedBox(height: 24),
        TextField(
          controller: emailController,
          decoration: const InputDecoration(
              border: OutlineInputBorder(), labelText: 'Email'),
        ),
        const SizedBox(height: 12),
        TextField(
          obscureText: true,
          controller: passwordController,
          decoration: const InputDecoration(
              border: OutlineInputBorder(), labelText: 'Password'),
        ),
        const SizedBox(height: 24),
        ElevatedButton(
            style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom(
                elevation: 0, minimumSize: const Size(1024, 60)),
            onPressed: () => ref
                .read(loginControllerProvider.notifier)
                .login(emailController.text, passwordController.text),
            child: const Text("Login", style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16))),
        SizedBox(
          width: 1024,
          height: 60,
          child: TextButton(
              onPressed: () => ref
                  .read(loginControllerProvider.notifier)
                  .authRepo
                  .registering = true,
              child: const Text(
                "Don't have an account? Register",
                style: TextStyle(fontSize: 14),
              )),
        )
      ]))
    ]));
  }
}

My bad. The issue is that you are creating Text editing controller inside the build method so it creates new controller every time build method is executed, move these lines to initstate or constructor it should be fine

var emailController = TextEditingController();
var passwordController = TextEditingController(
