Kodi remote IOS app qwerty function not working

Greetings,

I have installed the official Kodi remote on my iPhone and am happily using it to control my OSMC installation, however, when I need to enter text, the qwerty keyboard does not pop up…I have two other Kodi boxes, one on Raspian Jesse and one on Ubuntu, the remote app qwerty function works fine on both of those…is there something I’m missing in the configuration of my OSMC box?

Thanks

Update: Figured out the keyboard works fine, just does not pop up automagically…When I want to enter text, just swipe to the left and tap the keyboard icon. good enough!!
