issues with controlled TextInput with text replacement, "." shortcut on iOS

[chrisdrackett]

React Native version: 0.61.4

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a TextInput component:

        <TextInput
          onChangeText={setValue}
          value={value}
        />

2. In iOS settings > general > keyboard make sure that "." Shortcut is on.
3. make sure "Check Spelling" is on.
4. make sure at least one thing is available in "Text Replacement" (omw should be there by default)
5. within the text input you created type some misspelled text.
6. press space twice after your text
7. type the text replacement shortcut

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. Miss-spelled text should have a red underline
2. there should be a period when space is pressed twice
3. text replacement shortcut should be replaced with its matching text.

The above will not be true when using value on a TextInput. If you remove the value prop and have the component uncontrolled the above all works as expected. Also, if the component is made multiline the above all work as expected, even in the controlled case.

I am running into the same issue. it works when the shortcut is a-z like if you make a text replacement "smh" -> shake my head it works but if it is any special character such as a text replacement "@@" -> user@example.com it does not work UNLESS you enable multiline

I see I'am not the only one with the @@ shortcut for my email. Setting the multiline option solved the issue but introduce a new one for me: If I hit the return key (which in my case is returnKeyType="next") it add a new \n to my input value. So it's not really solved.

Related to #22078 and possibly #29572. I found that my fix for #29572 works around this issue, but it's not great and doesn't work for everyone.
