Force:inputfield isn't rendering lookup value.

I am rendering Accounts with their contacts in lightning component and showing account lookup field on child contacts But account lookup is not coming using force:inputfield in the contact section. However, when I  printed the accountid on page, it's coming but lookup not rendering.

Please help and find the below code!

<force:inputField> is not rendering fields on UI when being used inside <aura:iteration> tag or inside nested components in Lightning application.

Hi Sumit,

Please can you share JS controller and apex classes (including wrapper class)

Hi

Please use a component (with force:inputfield) and use this component under aura:iteration .

Hi Priyankar,
I tried it & it's not working.
Here is my code:
Lookup Component:
<aura:component >
    <aura:attribute name="Accountlookup" type="Contact"/>
    
<div aura:id="lookup-pill" class="slds-pill-container">
                    <span class="slds-pill" style="width:100%">
                        <force:inputField aura:id="contactName" class="slds-select"
                                 value="{!v.Accountlookup.AccountId}"/> 
    </span>
    </div>
</aura:component>
Updated code in main Compoent:
<td><ui:inputtext class="field" label="name" value="{!contactitem.Name}"/></td>
                        <td width="50%"><c:Accountlookup Accountlookup="{!contactitem}"></c:Accountlookup> </td>
                        <td><ui:inputtext class="field" label="phone" value="{!contactitem.Phone}"/></td>
                        <td><ui:inputtext class="field" value="{!contactitem.Description}"/></td>
