iOS Programmatically press keyboard button - ios

Is there anyway to programmatically press a button on the default keyboard for iOS?
For example, after something happens in my app, the keyboard will be visible. I need the program to automatically press or invoke the default action that the space bar would normally do on the keyboard, or the same thing to invoke the Microphone feature of the keyboard.
Is any of this possible?

Its a chatting scene, i have an input field for typing message and beside it there is a send button. Now while touch screen keyboard is enabled i can not press the send button, first the keyboard goes downwards and then i have to click the send button. Any suggestion?
You can write a script for your input field that detects when the focus is inside of the GUI element, and check the TouchScreenKeyboard.visible variable to know when it is dismissed.

iOS 9 new back button animation

So apple brought some new functions with iOS9.. One of these is the tiny black back-button, which appears when I open an app over a popup or something like that.
In my app the user can press a button to enter the settings. Then this new button appears. I was able to register, when this button was pressed, but as soon as the animation appears, there is such a black background. Is there a possibility to change the color of this animation-background?
As you can see, I mean this button:

Adding Voice Dictation (microphone) to ToolBar

What i am trying to do is:
Add one button (Microphone image) in toolbar.
On click of that button, the iOS default voice dictation should get call.
Query: I assume that we can not call default voice dictation but want to confirm.
Is their any workaround or any approach to call voice dictation on click of button in toolbar?
(The query is that dictation button (Mic) get display in keyboard
(for textfield & textview)& on click of that button(Mic) dictation
functionality comes to play, can we add similar button (like Mic) to
toolbar (for textfield & textview) & on click of button dictation
functionality should comes to play.)
Thanks
Dictation is only possible in a text field, and can thus only be started from the keyboard (afaik). It is also not supported for all languages, so it depends on what keyboard is active.
Those buttons are usually seen in chat apps, where they record an audio clip without translating it to text.

iOS Keyboard Colour Changes - keyboardAppearance dark color doesn't stick

In our app, we set the keyboardAppearance to dark. This produces a black keyboard, as expected. However, if the keyboard is showing, and we press the home button, and then go back into the app, the keyboard turns white, as shown. Any ideas why?
It may have todo with the fact that the keyboard is a global object. There's only ever one keyboard in memory at any given time. Also, the OS will automatically change the keyboard color based on the background. Therefore, your setting is probably just getting overridden. I would suggest hiding the keyboard when your app enters the background, and then re-show it when it re-enters the foreground. Then when you re-show the keyboard reset the keyboard appearance via code.

How to replicate home button double tap effect on click of a button?

In IOS, when we double tap the home button, it lift's the current app and shows all the app that are running on the bottom. I can scroll the bottom and select the music player option from there. I want to achieve the same screen lift effect, when user taps a button from withing the app instead of double tapping the home button. Is it possible to that? If yes, how can we do it?
No the home button function (unless jailbroken) cannot be re-created inside your UI.
Also since iOS6 users can opt to have Guided Access enabled, if that button where to be created would be considered useless. Now that would be a pain to do in a de-bugging process.
You would have to access the Home Button API (if there was one) as well as the guided access API.
