Context Menu Autofill Not Working (iOS 18)

[zoltrons]

Bitwarden Beta

• I'm using the new native Bitwarden Beta app and I'm aware that legacy .NET app bugs should be reported in bitwarden/mobile

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to 'any app with text field'
2. Tap on 'text field twice'
3. Press to 'autofill'
4. Tap on 'passwords'

Expected Result

Opening the autofill menu

Actual Result

AutoFill Unavailable
The developer of "Bitwarden" needs to update it to work with this feature. You can open "Bitwarden" to copy information to fill.

Additional Context

I think apple finally open up autofill context menu button for third-party apps with iOS 18. So an implementation need for this feature.

Build Version

2024.8.1 (1052)

Environment Details

Device: iPhone 15
OS: iOS 18 RC

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Are you tried on iOS 18? And in os settings, only password manager enabled is bitwarden?

Having the same issue on public release iOS 18. In prior iOS releases it wouldn't even load Bitwarden from the context menu but at least gives this error in iOS 18.

I have the same issue, I have tried the following:

• First, reboot the device.
• Then disable autofill for Bitwarden and Re-enable it.
• Then disable and re-enable the whole autofill feature.
• Reinstall the app and try the 3 above scenarios.

Still no luck.

Versions:

• iOS 18.0 (22A3354, EU build if that helps)
• 2024.9.1 (1092)

I was looking into this this morning to see if this functionality could be implemented easily, but I realized there's some UI work that would be required that's above my pay grade as someone who's not looked at this codebase before. Here's what I dug up though, in case it helps the next person:

• This key needs to be added to the appropriate dictionary in the plist
• This function needs to be implemented in BitwardenAutoFillExtension/CredentialProviderViewController.swift
• UI needs to be added to the pop-up vault list that allows for drilling into a vault item's details and selecting the specific thing to autofill from that item (at the very least should allow selecting between username and password, but ideally would allow selecting any text field in a vault item).
• Needs to call this function to pass the text value back to the system, instead of this one
