[Feature Request] textVisiblePassword (Android) #31738
Description
On Android it is possible to get a Keyboard with letters and numbers visible at the same time through the property textVisiblePassword
In Flutter, we use a TextField with the property obscureText: true to get the password behavior, so there is no TextInputType relative to the password field, so we can not achieve the same effect when using the textVisiblePassword property
Sample
TextField(controller: textController, keyboardType: TextInputType.textWithNumber)Expected behavior

Sounds like this would be a good addition to Flutter to me. We would need to add support for InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD into TextInputPlugin.java in the engine, and then tie it through to TextInputType in the framework. Should be a straightforward change.

Is there any update on this? I really need it to release my app

@niktses Support was added in the engine in flutter-team-archive/engine#9999, and this PR will add the input type to the framework when it's merged: #36695
