Module seems incompatible with RN > 0.48 : no visible @interface for 'RCTTextView' declares the selector 'textViewDidChange' about react-native-autogrow-textinput

It seems that in the last RN release (version 0.49.1) the autoGrow feature have been merged into the native TextInput core.

1. Feature Request:
   https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-support-for-automatically-resizing-multiline-textinput-based-on-content

2. Merged in 0.49.1:
   facebook/react-native@7abce0b

Now to get this feature working it's just a new attribute to set:

<TextInput autoGrow={true}>
  Hello
  World
</TextInput>

[rubycon]

It seems to be linked to this change in RN 0.48:
facebook/react-native@4ff3e10#diff-223b3f6f8736fab6d3e706f3ebcdd09fR70

For now I just avoid the compile error by commenting-out the buggy line:

if (textView != nil && [self respondsToSelector:@selector(textViewDidChange:)])
{
  //dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
  //  [self textViewDidChange:textView];
  //});
}

After some testing it doesn't seem to hurt my autogrow text inputs.

React Native's TextInput autoGrow is android only.

Hey @BricePissard, thanks for reporting about it. This package indeed does not yet support latest RN versions.

The native part which is included in this package has some additional features that you might not even need. In the meantime you can just remove AutoGrowTextInput.xcodeproj from your project so it can compile.

That said, there are probably other, additional issue with latest RN versions, so i'm not sure if it will work properly when you can get it to run. I think there were some breaking changes along the way that can possibly affect this component.

It's working on 0.55 version of RN.
