UIWindow* keyWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];

Unfortunately it look's like even if we try to force close the keyboard using endEditing; that function takes no effect. On my device it doesn't seem like the keyboard can be dismissed.
Below would have been the answer that should have worked:
Display the MFMailComposeViewControllerwith a completion and call endEditing: on the MFMailComposeViewController's view.
MFMailComposeViewController *mailVC = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:mailVC animated:YES completion:^{
[mailVC.view endEditing:YES];
}];
UPDATE:
Wouldn't suggest doing this but, here is a hackish way that works:
Objective-C:
MFMailComposeViewController *mailVC = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:mailVC animated:YES completion:^{
UITextField *a = [[UITextField alloc] init];
[mailVC.view addSubview:a];
[a becomeFirstResponder];
[mailVC.view endEditing:YES];
}];
Swift:
let mailVC = MFMessageComposeViewController()
self.presentViewController(mailVC, animated: true) { () -> Void in
let a = UITextField()
mailVC.view.addSubview(a)
a.becomeFirstResponder()
mailVC.view.endEditing(true)
}

In your viewcontroller.h add:
#property (nonatomic) UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer;
Now in the .m file, add this to your ViewDidLoad function:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//Keyboard stuff
tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(handleSingleTap:)];
tapRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
}*
Also, add this function in the .m file:
- (void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *) sender
{
[self.view endEditing:YES];
}
