The keyboard also does not appear for me on mobile browsers on iOS.

Hi @jblankenship5, can you check if the autofocus works if you replace Pinput with:

    return TextField(
      autofocus: true,
    );

[jblankenship5]

No it does not @Tkko, after some research I've come to realize that autofocus doesn't work at all on mobile browsers on iOS. I guess the OS requires the user to tap on the screen or give some kind of input. For this reason I have turned auto focus off for iOS browsers, and that includes all the other form widgets in my app.
