I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my Capacitor + React app (TruthScan, Bundle ID: com.christophe.truthscan).
Review environment:
Device: iPad Air 11-inch (M3) and iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)
OS: iPadOS 26.5
Framework: Capacitor 6 + React + TanStack Router
App Review has rejected my app 6 times for this exact issue. The email and password fields become completely unresponsive on iPad. Works perfectly on iPhone with the same iOS version.
Workarounds attempted with no success: uncontrolled React refs, onTouchStart handlers, fontSize 16, touch-action manipulation, webkit-user-select text, removal of phone-shell container.
Filed Feedback Assistant report: FB23442182
Has anyone found a working solution or workaround for this specific issue? Did Apple App Review provide you with any guidance after investigating?
This is clearly a system-level WKWebView bug on iPadOS 26. I hope Apple resolves this soon as it is blocking App Store approval for multiple developers.
