I need to disable the emoji keyboard in my iOS app. I tried using 'ascii-capable', but that turns off the ability to change the language on the keyboard. A great option is 'numbers-and-punctuation', but by default numbers are turned on first, not letters.

In my iOS app, I want users to name things they create using emoji only. Ideally, when the special text field becomes active, I want the emoji keyboard to be presented, but without an option to change the language. I've been under the impression it's simply not possible to force this until I found out that's exactly what standard iOS 14 Reminders app does.
When editing the list of reminders, one may tap smiling face and choose one of the emojis. Notice how there's no globe to switch the language.
How can I achieve the same in UIKit or SwiftUI? I don't see any "emoji" UIKeyboardType
The app has a Chinese localization and runs with Scheme options (see image).
When I hit the text field, I would expect a Chinese keyboard and not a German one.
I only see German, English and Emoji keyboards.
Is there any way to tell the Simulator which keyboard should be used by default?
Unfortunately, this is not automatic. You should manually add a Chinese keyboard and make it the default.
Navigate to Settings/Keyboards, add the Chinese keyboard under Keyboards and drag it to the first place of the list after clicking on Edit.
My ios app support localisation to display label/images according to the iphone's preferred language. But this also changes the keyboard to that specified language. But can I disable that in my code so that the keyboard appeared is in english only and all other feature(apart from keyboard) supports localisation.
I have the answer for displaying english keyboard here.
But I also want to disable user from switching to other keyboards.
Set keyboardType property of UITextField to UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable and the keyoboard will be english only
textField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable;
I want my app to have an only-emoji keyboard. Is this possible to do? Like instead of the english version coming up, it would be emojis. Is it possible to do this without enabling emojis via system preferences? Thanks!
No, the Emoji keyboard has to be activated by the user in the Settings app and there is no way to change this from a 3rd party app.
I am working on one app, in which i need multi language support but i want to disable emoji keyboard.
I have tried UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable type of keyboard but it also disable multi language support.
Can you please provide any suggestion do allow multi-language and disable emoji keyboard.
Thanks
