Describe the Bug All ion-input tags will autofocus in IOS. This is because they add autofocus=“false” by default but the presence of the attribute autofocus will cause the input to autofocus regardless of the value. Note: this seems to be ok in Google Chrome but when deployed to IOS with wkwebview the problem surfaces.

Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Place an ion-input in a form
2. Build and deploy the ionic app for IOS
3. The input will be focused and the keyboard will appear

Expected Behavior By default there should not be autofocus in the generated input tag. If ion-input has the property of autofocus=“true” then the input tag should have an attribute of autofocus (doesnt require a value)

Additional Context Tested with IOS 11.4 on an iPhoneX. Note: problem may occur with chrome but isnt as visible as it doesnt cause an onscreen keyboard to appear.

I am not able to get the autofocus property to work on either Chrome or Safari for desktop web.

It looks like the attribute gets set on the element but it never receives focus.

I am attempting to use it in modal dialogs to place the cursor in the first input but have not been able to get it to work for either ion-input or ion-textarea elements.
