Autocomplete change is not triggered for auto-completion and IME composition iOS mobile

[Voileexperiments]

I can easily reproduce this in the demo page by:

1. Use "Events in text field"
2. Select default English keyboard
3. Keep selecting auto-suggestion candidates in iOS mobile

Or

1. Use "Events in text field"
2. Select a Chinese/Japanese keyboard
3. Type Chinese/Japanese text that involves IME composition and select them

As can be tested here, only beforeinput and input is triggered for both cases, and compositionend for the second case.

Apparently input event listener is missing among the listeners. Why? input event is supported by all modern browsers and adding it is perfectly backwards compatible.

I don't have an IOS device to test on. I'll try to fix this and then I'll ask you for a check if you don't mind @Voileexperiments

A quick workaround that handles the IME composition

    $('<your-selector>').on('input', (e) => {
        $('<your-selector>').autoComplete('show');
    });

No mentioned Events triggering.

$('.basicAutoSelect').on('autocomplete.freevalue',function(evt, item){
console.log(evt,item)
})

console is empty .
