iOS 8 Tap on UITextView freezes the app - ios

Question

I have an old code, without ARC, without Autolayout and I am constructing theUITableViewCell programmatically. TheUITableViewCell contains aUITextView. The cell is constructed properly but when I tap on theUITextView for editing the app freezes and after some time it exists (I think it's because it's taking a lot of CPU Time). This only happens with iOS 8, other versions it works fine.
I debugged and I do getUIKeyboardWillShowNotification notification but the keyboard does not show up and I can't do anything after this.
Below is the code
// Register notification when the keyboard will be show
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
// Register notification when the keyboard will be hide
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(MIN_X,(LABEL_HEIGHT + VERTICAL_PADDING) + 2,TEXT_BOX_WIDTH,TEXT_BOX_HEIGHT);
self.roundRectView = [[RoundRectView alloc]initWithFrame:frame];
self.roundRectView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self.contentView addSubview:roundRectView];
inputTextView = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
inputTextView.editable = YES;
inputTextView.delegate = self;
if(self.parameter.selectedValue == nil || [self.parameter.selectedValue length] == 0){
inputTextView.text = self.parameter.label;
}
else{
inputTextView.text = self.parameter.selectedValue;
}
inputTextView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
inputTextView.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
inputTextView.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue" size:15.0];
inputTextView.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
inputTextView.scrollEnabled = NO;
inputTextView.bounces = NO;
inputTextView.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
[self.contentView addSubview:inputTextView];
Below is theUIKeyboardWillShowNotification handler :-
-(void) keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification *)note{
if([self.inputTextView isFirstResponder]) {
// Get the keyboard size
CGRect keyboardBounds;
[[note.userInfo valueForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] getValue: &keyboardBounds];
// Detect orientation
UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
CGRect frame = self.parentTableView.frame;
// Start animation
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3f];
// Reduce size of the Table view
if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
frame.size.height -= keyboardBounds.size.height-100;
else
frame.size.height -= keyboardBounds.size.width-100;
// Apply new size of table view
self.parentTableView.frame = frame;
// Scroll the table view to see the TextField just above the keyboard
if (self.inputTextView)
{
CGRect textFieldRect = [self.parentTableView convertRect:self.inputTextView.bounds fromView:self.inputTextView];
[self.parentTableView scrollRectToVisible:textFieldRect animated:NO];
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}}

Answer 1

Posting my solution if anyone faces same issue.
The TextView was in an view controller which was presented modally using UIModalPresentationFormSheet presentation style. After I changed to UIModalPresentationPageSheet it worked fine. This means the Form sheet caused some problem while popping up the keyboard.
