ViewsSetting UITextContentType.emailAddress on a UITextView is not working
I have a UITextView which is set with UIKeyboardType of .emailAddress I want to auto-suggest the user's email address with the UITextContentType property
I do so like so:
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
myTextView.textContentType = UITextContentType.emailAddress
}
However this is not working and I see no email in the suggestion box of the textview.
I have also tried the same thing with a UITextField but no dice.
Is there something I am missing? I have done everything according to the docs.

Make sure you have set your email address in your own Contact card in the Contacts app.

In case of email addresses you need to set your keyboardType to emailAddress also.
I thought prediction/autocomplete is broken on iOS 13 but you just need to specify the right type of keyboard. This is how I got names and addresses to work:
textField.autocorrectionType = .yes
textField.textContentType = .givenName
textField.keyboardType = .namePhonePad
