Summary:
When using certain keyboards, like Serbian Latin, Croatian, Hungarian, Dutch etc, Quick Type / Suggestions input bar is not shown above the keyboard. This makes impossible to use password autofill feature impossible to use with those keyboards.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Serbian Latin keyboard in system Settings
2. Implement password autofill in some sample project, as explained in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/206 - or use the same Shiny app sample code from that WWDC session
3. Switch to Serbian Latin keyboard - quick type bar does not appear
4. Switch to English keyboard - quick type with the password appears

Expected Results:
Quick Type bar should *always* appear and it should always show at least the “key” icon for the iCloud Keychain password store.

Actual Results:
Customer should not be forced to install English (or French or German…) keyboard in order to use such an important security helper in an app.

Version:
11.4

Comments

This works on iOS 12 with keyboard lanaguges that don’t have a prediction bar.
Verified on the iOS 12 beta 5.
