Keyboard is dismissed automatically in iOS9.1 on App Switch - ios

I have a screen with a textField in my app. Suppose the settings app is already present in the background with keyboard shown.
Now, I bring up the keyboard in my app and then switch to settings app; a glitch is visible. The keyboard flickers as if it hides and shows instantaneously.
Also, if I switch back to my app, the keyboard is gone. This issue exists only in iOS9. iOS9.1 to be precise.
Is this a known issue?
Please provide your valuable suggestions or a solution for the same.
Thanks.

IOS - Keyboard disappear from screen when multitasking is enabled

and thank you in advance.
I’m currently developing an app for iOS in swift, and I have a screen where the user can insert some text.
It works great but i noticed a strange thing.
If the app is on screen and if the user enable the “multitasking”, the keyboard disappears from the screen.
The app doesn’t freeze.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Strange iOS Keyboard

I am working on an app, and every now and then my keyboard starts acting strangely (see screenshot below). The keyboard isn't a custom keyboard, it's just using the dark appearance. I know there have been issues reported about keyboard issues on iOS 9, but I cannot find any of them.
Does anyone know what would cause this or have links acknowledging this is a known bug?
Thanks in advanced for the help.

Refresh iPhone simulator with hardware keyboard disconnected

i'm testing a react-native iphone app on the xcode iphone simulator. i don't think this is a react-native specific problem, but included that info in case it's relevant.
i'm trying to create a page that autofocuses a TextInput when it loads, with the keyboard visible. Now, in order to get the simulator to auto-show the keyboard when a text input gains focus, I have to disonnect the hardware keyboard.
the catch is that with the hardware keyboard disconnected, i can no longer Cmd+R to refresh the app, which I have to do manually whenever I have an error.
is there some other way to refresh the simulator when the hardware keyboard is disconnected?
First right click your Simulator
Then Press Hardware
Press Shake Gesture
enter image description here
finally disable Live Reload

You can enabled live reload from the debug menu which causes the application to reload every time you make changes to the javascript.

In order to get the simulator to auto-show the keyboard when a text input gains focus, I just use the emulator option Hardware > Keyboard > Toggle Software Keyboard.
I only toggle it once and keep the hardware keyboard connected, which allows me to do cmd + r and have the best of both worlds.
I can cmd+r as much as I want and the soft keyboard will still show up.

3rd party keyboards (Swyft, SwiftKey, etc) do not work in iOS 8 GM

I'm running the GM build for iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s
My friend who has the identical setup, and has them working, so I don't know what my problem is. I go through the same install process of these 3rd party keyboards, and I can install them and select them from the keyboard selection.
However, instead of the swift keyboard or the SwiftKey keyboard I see a large gray area where the keyboard should be. No letters, nothing...i have to delete the keyboard to be able to type again.
Anyone else experiencing this? I tried re-installing, rebooting phone, nothing seems to get them working...
I'm running the GM build for iOS 8...
Seems as though I missed a step. If you don't "add full access" by tapping on the keyboard in settings and toggling the switch, they keyboard shows as a gray box but with no keys!! You can't even close out of it without deleting the keyboard.
*EDIT nope, it's still broken. This option was only available for SwiftKey, and it only caused the keyboard to work for a brief moment, then it was back to grey box or not displaying a keyboard at all, as if I was connected to a hardware keyboard.
Still searching...

Possible iOS Bug with VoiceOver and Onscreen keyboard use

I found what I believe to be a bug in iOS 5.1. It seems like it's specifically on 4S devices. I was really hoping some other iOS developers with Wireless keyboards could test this out. If you find that it is a problem, please submit it as a bug report. This particular issue is very important to a project I'm working on and I would appreciate any community support on this issue.
The Bug Report:
This bug allows the on-screen keyboard to appear even when the Apple Wireless Keyboard is connected (without any prompting from the keyboard's eject key). The problem occurs after the keyboard has been paired and VoiceOver is activated.
Steps to Reproduce:
Make sure that VoiceOver can be turned on via tripple pressing the home key. VoiceOver should be turned off initially. Pair the keyboard to the iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. Turn the keyboard off so that the on-screen keyboard is the only form of text input. Do the following:
Enter any app's text field (I was able to reproduce the bug on the home screen's "Search iPhone" search bar).
Turn the wireless keyboard on. The on-screen keyboard should disappear as it's supposed to.
Tripple press the home button to activate voiceover. The on-screen keyboard comes back.
Expected Results:
The on-screen keyboard should not appear.
Actual Results:
The on-screen keyboard appears and keeps appearing every time another text field is accessed (regardless of being connected to the wireless keyboard).
Regression:
iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4s
Notes:
If step 1 is taken with VoiceOver initially turned on, then step 2 will still happen as it is described. From that point, if VoiceOver is turned off, the on-screen keyboard does not return so long as the wireless keyboard is connected.
This bug makes designing apps to work specifically with the wireless keyboard and VoiceOver very difficult. The on-screen keyboard appears at inappropriate times and consequently gets in the way of VoiceOver's sequential screen navigation as well as gesture recognition.
