Answer 1

The warning you are seeing in the IDE is telling you to use TextControls instead of MDCTextField. If you go to Material UI's documentation, you can see that you need to follow these steps to use TextControls:

1. Add the relevant pods to your Podfile:

   pod 'MaterialComponents/TextControls+FilledTextAreas'
   
   pod 'MaterialComponents/TextControls+FilledTextFields'
   
   pod 'MaterialComponents/TextControls+OutlinedTextAreas'
   
   pod 'MaterialComponents/TextControls+OutlinedTextFields'
   

2. Run pod install

3. In the class you want to use the UI component, add the relevant imports:

   import MaterialComponents.MaterialTextControls_FilledTextAreas
   
   import MaterialComponents.MaterialTextControls_FilledTextFields
   
   import MaterialComponents.MaterialTextControls_OutlinedTextAreas
   
   import MaterialComponents.MaterialTextControls_OutlinedTextFields
   

4. To replace your OutlinedTextField, you can use:

   let textField = MDCOutlinedTextField(frame: estimatedFrame)
   
   textField.label.text = "Phone number"
   
   textField.placeholder = "555-555-5555"
   
   textField.leadingAssistiveLabel.text = "This is helper text"
   
   textField.sizeToFit()
   
   view.addSubview(textField)
   

For other examples, you can head over to the documentation linked above.
