Take a look at BasicTextField, you can use that from compose.

Yea I know right. TextField on compose iOS still have some issues.

You also can try to use ComposeUITextField

/**
 * Compose wrapper for native UITextField.
 * @param value the input text to be shown in the text field.
 * @param onValueChange the callback that is triggered when the input service updates the text. An
 * updated text comes as a parameter of the callback
 * @param modifier a [Modifier] for this text field. Size should be specified in modifier.
 */
@Composable
fun ComposeUITextField(value: String, onValueChange: (String) -> Unit, modifier: Modifier) {

Pay attention to this line:
@param modifier a [Modifier] for this text field. Size should be specified in modifier.

[Dima Avdeev]

For example:

var textState = remember{ mutableStateOf("Hello") }
ComposeUITextField(textState.value, {textState.value = it}, Modifier.width(100.dp).height(30.dp))

But we are working hard to make material TextField function more stable!
