Native iOS Pickers

[bsystems limited]

We have noticed that implementing native pickers in ios does not work.

We would like to find out why this happens.

Native pickers break with every release of iOS. As a result we deprecated them on iOS. I'm not sure if we'll fix them. 

The question is: why do you need them?

I don't know why the OP need native pickers, but from my perspective iOS users expect consistency and don't understand why an iOS app would not use native pickers as probably 99% of all apps do. iOS users basically don't care about developer considerations and CN1 limitations. I had this feedback from early tests of my app. Not sure if absence of native pickers is make-or-break issue, but definitely an app doesn't score any points from it.

And personally, I hadn't even realized they had been deprecated on iOS. 

There are also a couple of other differences/regressions between native iOS apps and CN1 apps I've noticed: no (working) support for scroll-to-top when tapping status bar, not possible to select displayed text for copy/paste or Look Up, different feel of 'tensile' dynamics (eg bounce on scroll to top/bottom).

Our picker looks native on iOS and can be customized to look more native. It's more functional than the native picker and doesn't have as many issues. If there's an issue with the L&F or functionality in the the lightweight picker we need to address that issue, not the "nativeness" which as I said, failed with literally every release of the OS.
