I recently upgraded to cocos2d ver 3.3.5 and since then i'm facing issues in CCTextField. I can no more access UITextField as it returns _platformTextField.nativeTextField and nativeTextField (which is readonly property) is never being assigned native text field anywhere (it should be assigned in relevant subclass of CCPlatformTextField such as CCPlatformTextFieldIOS). I'm absolutely stuck here as i need to access native UITextField for so many things such as for setting SecureTextEntry for password text fields.

What cocos2d version are you using ? 3.3.5

What iOS / Mac SDK are you using ? iOS7

Debug or Release ? Both

Which target device / target OS are you using ?

iOS only: Does this happens on device ? or on the simulator ? or on both ?

Mac only: x86 or i386 ?

Please provide any additional information below.

Target device: iPhone 4S, 5/5S, 6, 6+ Target OS: iOS7 and above

Its on simulator and device, both. Its not a UI issue, its API issue. _platformTextField.nativeTextField returns null as nativeTextField is never being assigned anything anywhere.
