Date Field on iPad

I am tyring to use a date field on an ipad app. The calendar displays when I add it to the layout, but when I test the app no calendar appears on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?

The best way to handle dates on iPad is to use a text box and set the "input type" property to "Date." This will give you the native date picker interface that apple uses on iOS apps.

So, I would suggest using that approach.

However, our "date field" seems to work okay for me if I put it in a layout. It's difficult to use on an iPad, since it was designed for mouse, and some elements are too small to click easily on touch device. But, it works.

So, I would recommend using a textbox with "input type", but if that's not going to work for you for some reason, then please send us a JSON dump (Ctrl-F9) of the screen where it fails so we can investigate.
