Apples build in Emoji Keyboard has a section with "Memoji" stickers.
If you tap on any of these stickers (it seems to be a PNG image), then it's automatically inserted into the textfield or into the chat of the current App, for example WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or iMessage.
Is it possible to get the same functionality with a custom keyboard? Or is Apple using some private API for the Memoji stickers?
I know how to add an image or image data to the pasteboard like UIPasteboard.general.image or UIPasteboard.general.setData(...). But if I do so, the png image isn't pasted automatically into the textfield. The user has to do additional steps and tap with the finger into the textfield and select "paste".
All the mentioned apps use UITextView, upon selection of any sticker the OS adds this image as an NSTextAttachment to the attributedString of the text view

I'm setting up a keyboard extension for iOS and would like for the output of the keyboard into text fields in 3rd party apps like Instagram (and other apps) to be the font "Typewriter". How do I go about doing this?
I see that this app keyboard extension was able to solve this problem https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fonts/id1454061614
This is a new iOS keyboard extension and was able to get the font inside the app and change the keyboard GUI to be the typewriter font, but not the output inside of 3rd part apps
I expect the output to be Typewriter font inside text fields in 3rd party apps
I want to replace the system emoji as a user is typing out with my own custom emoji image. I know Facebook Messenger is able to do this on their app so I'm curious how does this work? Their app itself can even turn on/off their own custom emojis. Is it just a custom font?
Here's a link of how it's working:

I am currently in the process of building a custom keyboard for IOS devices and wanted to add a custom EMOJI keyboard as well. I have a sheet of custom emoticons already created and do not want the user to have to copy and paste into their message like on the Ikea Emoticon keyboard. Is it possible to have a clone of apples keyboard functionality but with my own emoticons?
If you have something similar like below (emoticon icon)
You can make a slideout UIView with a bunch of your custom emojis using UICollectionView. If the user taps on an emoji it would insert your own Unicode Emoji Text (just example).
You will have to make your own if statements if the text contains emoji unicode to make the emojis appear in your text.
This is how I understand it, I might be wrong, if so, please correct me. :)
The goal is to be able to insert images with text when sharing text into an SMS Message from the App as well as in e-mails. Like it is in the picture below. When I try to share images with the UIActivityViewController the images appear on the next line and not next to the text. Is it possible to embed images in text and e-mail like the built in Emoji text?
The contents of text messages are just that, text (that is, a sequence of Unicode code points.) The emoji images you see in the screenshot come from a system font installed on all iOS devices, and are represented in the text as unicode code points, just like the other regular letters in the same message.
If you want to embed custom images into text fields in your app, you can create a custom font that includes the desired graphics (for some code points in the Unicode private use area,) include the font in your app as an asset, configure your text fields to use that font, and then provide some UI for the user to type those code points in.
But remember that this will only work on devices that have your custom font installed, and in apps that choose to use that custom font to display the text — so essentially only in your own app. So for example if you'd send the text in an email or iMessage/SMS to another device, your custom graphics would not work unless a) the receiving device has your custom font installed system-wide, and b) the app displaying the text resolves the Unicode private use area code points you chose to use for your images to this custom font of yours.
If you only want to embed images into text fields within your own app, on iOS 7 and later you can use the text attachments feature that TextKit supports.
