@sahrens, this might be related to your recent changes to TextInput

I've run into this as well.

Looks like this is an iOS-only problem, and only occurs with multiline={false} (which is the default).

I haven't touched iOS for a while - @nicklockwood, can you take a look?

[sahrens]

Sorry for the super slow response, this totally fell off my radar and most of the syled inputs we have been using are all multiline so we didn't notice internally.

I've done some playing around with this, and there are a few unexpected behaviors:

• You must have multiline={true} to apply any font styling.
• fontWeight and fontStyle applied simultaneously will cause neither to be applied
• Setting fontSize will strip any font weight styling.

I just created a ProductPains post for this: https://productpains.com/post/react-native/text-styles-not-applied-correctly-in-textinput

Looks like it works :)

@christophermark any chance you'd be willing to submit a PR for this? @grabbou what do you think next steps ought to be?
