Input is not working for type date in iOS

[joelharisonlobo]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Textbox is not working in iOS. I'm new to material design i have an application page in my page in that there is a field for date of birth there i have specified type = date in input but when i hosted the website only that textbox is not working in iOS.

What is the expected behavior?

I did all the inputs without specifying its type but for date of birth i needed to specify type as date and needed the material styles. but date type is not working in iOS

What is the current behavior?

for input with date type is not working in iOS. Its not even focusing in any of the browsers

What are the steps to reproduce?

In this link you can see my problem http://kitex.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com.
For android its working perfectly but in iOS its not even focusing.

<mat-form-field class="fields-full-width"> <input type="date" matInput placeholder="Date of birth" #DOB [max]="today" (keyup)="dobValidation(DOB)" (input)="dobValidation(DOB)"> </mat-form-field>

This is my code for date of birth

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

There is a field for date of birth. Its not even focusing on that field. its like completly disabled.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

I'm using Angular 2 (@angular/cli: 1.1.1), Material(2.0.0-beta.12), in windows 10

for testing i have used iOS 11.0.3. In that safari and crome are the brosers i have used . But in both
date didn't worked

employee-registration.zip

Is there anything else we should know?

material date picker in material.angular.io site doesn't have clarity of how to use it.

I managed to reproduce it as well. It seems like iOS collapses the input into a 1px by 100% strip.

Edit: after some more digging it seems like this issue has been around for a while. It happens because we're overriding the background color. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18381594/input-type-date-appearance-in-safari-on-ios
