How to set date format to MM/DD/YYYY using InputMask 7.3.2

I'm using the InputMask 7.3.2 library in my iOS project. I want to set the input mask for a date field to display in the formatMM/DD/YYYY and also set the placeholder toMM/DD/YYYY.

Here is my code:

import InputMaskclassViewController:UIViewController{@IBOutlet weakvardateTextField:UITextField!overridefunc viewDidLoad(){        super.viewDidLoad()                // Set up the mask for the date fieldletdateMask="[00]{/}[00]{/}[0000]"letlistener=MaskedTextInputListener(primaryFormat: dateMask)        dateTextField.delegate= listener                // Set placeholder text        dateTextField.placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY"}}

The input mask works correctly, but the placeholder does not display as expected. It showsMM/DD/YYYY only when there is no input.

Is there a way to keep the placeholderMM/DD/YYYY visible until the user starts typing? Also, how can I ensure the input mask applies correctly as the user types?

Thank you in advance for your help!
