Angular input auto-focus not working on IOS

Question

I need to focus on an input as soon as it becomes visible (AngularJS).
I used ng-attr-autofocus to do so.

<input ng-attr-autofocus="{{SOME_SCOPE_VARIABLE}}">

It works great, accept for IOS devices.
I realized that IOS developers "canceled" the behavior of .focus() function.

I can't find a way to focus, I tried adding directives and many other methods I came across to, no success. (I need to do it to make the keypad visible)

EDIT: PHP

Answer 1

config.xml

 <preference name="KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction" value="false" />

home.html

   <input type="text" auto-focus>
