I have a custom keyboard extension that provides special symbols that can’t be typed with a hardware keyboard, similar to the emoji keyboard. iOS automatically dismisses third-party keyboards when a hardware keyboard is connected (but it doesn’t for the emoji keyboard), which is undesirable for my keyboard (and others such as GIF and sticker keyboards).
My question is how do you keep your custom keyboard visible when a hardware keyboard is connected?
SwiftKey was able to do this (see here) but how?
I have built a keyboard extension and it works as expected in most apps. However, it is not one of the keyboards rotated in iPhone Search bar:
Only the system keyboards are there. How can I enable my keyboard extension for the Search bar?
I Want to create a custom keyboard component(sharing images via keyboard not numbers or decimals) so that the user can download that in iPhone and select it to be used in any app like we do from the iPhone settings to change the keyboard or add a new keyboard.
I can't select the keyboard extension I added.Namely, I added my custom keyboard application extension target.I then build and run the target with an application and went to
Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards -> Add New Keyboard and added my new keyboard.
I now have English, Emoji and myKeyboard under Keyboards. I then go back to the application i
started the keyboard with and tap on a text field and the standard iOS keyboard pops up. I try to tap and hold the globe button and only English and Emjoi keyboards are available for selecting. Any ideas why ?
If you are doing it on simulator, you will not be able to choose your custom keyboard extension from the keyboard menu in your container app. it is known issue in Xcode 6.1, hasn't fixed by apple yet .
You can try display your keyboard in the stock contacts app on the simulator, or you could just run your app on real device.
How can I find the keyboard type of an iPad programmatically (i.e. dock, undock, or split), when selecting a textfield?
