I'm currently developing a tvOS app and when I reach the sign in flow I can select from a list of Previously-used email addresses in order to sign in. Now the email address I want to use is not listed, so I must manually type it in. But even after logging in, if I log out and go to the same list, the email address previously used is not listed. I know through Settings -> General -> Previously-Used Emails I can remove an email address, but is there any way I can programatically add the email address the user entered to the list?

Looks like this may be an Apple bug. If I enter the email address using my Apple TV remote, the email address is listed in previously-used emails, but if I opt to use my iPhone device to type in the email address it is usually not listed in the previously-used email addresses.

By definition, an un-used email, added manually or via code, is not a -previously- used email, and would thus be a false entry given that qualifier.

We see similar behavior as well. This has to be relatively recent as the functionality has worked in the past.
