Summary: This adds support for a controlled `selection` prop on `TextInput` on iOS (Android PR coming soon). This is based on the work by ehd in #2668 which hasn't been updated for a while, kept the original commit and worked on fixing what was missing based on the feedback in the original PR. What I changed is: - Make the prop properly controlled by JS - Add a RCTTextSelection class to map the JS object into and the corresponding RCTConvert category - Make sure the selection change event is properly triggered when the input is focused - Cleanup setSelection - Changed TextInput to use function refs to appease the linter ** Test plan ** Tested using the TextInput selection example in UIExplorer on iOS. Also tested that it doesn't break Android.

UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch uiexplorer
buck install -r uiexplorer
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
