TextInput's placeholder is not being displayed initially with multiline set to true on iOS
See original GitHub issueCurrent behaviour
On iOS, if multiline is true and label and placeholder both have a value, the placeholder is not displayed when you click on the input field. If you type something in, selected it all, and delete it, then the placeholder is displayed and works as expected. If you enter two lines of text into the text input and then erase them, then you will see the placeholder. See the video for an example of this behavior.
Expected behaviour
The placeholder should show up.
Code sample
<TextInput
label="Label"
placeholder="Placeholder"
multiline
/>
