Stop cursor in a UITextField or UITextView from blinking - ios

Is it possible to stop the cursor in a UITextView or UITextField from blinking??
What I want is that the cursor should have a visible color (say blue or any other) but it should be non-blinking.

You can create an invisible text field and make it the first responder. Once you're done, you can set the first responder back to the original text field and remove the invisible text field

You can try to set the colour of Tint to clear, its a hack but works :/
textfield.tintColor = UIColor.Clear

How do I make my UIButton title have some padding?

Let's say I have a UIButton with a size of 120 wide by 30 high. I set an attributed title on it with centered text and I set a background color on the text of the attributed text for the .highlighted state.
When the user highlights the button, I want the background that shows around the title to have the same frame as the button.
I've tried positive and negative values for the button's titleEdgeInsets and contentEdgeInsets with no luck. Any suggestions here? Thanks
The easiest (meaning most controllable) way in my opinion is to use a button subclass and override titleRect. It's called when highlighted and when unhighlighted so you get a chance to change your answer depending on the state.
However, that won't change the size of the background color of attributed text, because it applies only to the text. You'd need to change the background color of the title label itself.

UItextfield not rendering background color

When UITextfield is visible on viewdidload method, It's background color is visible. However, If the text field is kept hidden until some event occurs, It's background color is not visible.
In the image, I have given text field white color background with an alpha value.
In first case color is visible, however in the second case, background color seems to be the clear color.
These text fields are inside UIStackView.
When textfield is in stackView call
self.field1.isHidden = false
self.field1.setNeedsDisplay()

How to remove shadow color behind the textview text?

I have one textview whenever I start typing the color behind the text appear with text so How to remove this color please see below image for reference
As soon as I start to typing the text was appear with color but as soon as i press space key it is gone, disappear.
Ex. Take one text view and just type you can see color with text in textview.
This is happening because Auto-Correction is ON.
Please follow below code
self.txtview.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
text.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
Actually, this is a default behavior of a UITextView.
It becomes word with highlighted blue background when your characters can't find any match word in your phone's dictionary.
self.txtview.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
