Actually these flags are available on all platforms. We could remove the #ifdefs and it would compile.

But the question really is: Why is predictive text input and auto-uppercasing disabled for mobile devices?

Right now it's done for _any_ inputs, and if it should be done only for password fields, then it should be the input method that decides to do that, because it has all the hints set.

I'd like to remove this block of code altogether.
