Adjust UIPopover when the iPad keypad splits - ios

I have an iPad app in landscape orientation.
Which has multiple UIButtons on the screen from top to bottom which present a UIPopover with a TextView in it.
When the keyboard appears and covers the button, the popover moves over the keyboard, and comes back nicely when the keyboard is dismissed.
but when the keyboard is suddenly put into split mode and if the popover was for a button below the keyboard then the popover comes back and goes behind one of the halves of the keyboard.
How should such situation be handled gracefully ?

Would creating a transparent view/button that you launch the Popover view from work? Then you could move the button to where ever you want.

How to show stickers (or other views) under UIInputAccessoryView on iOS?

I'm building a chat interface and I'm curious how apps like Telegram and iMessage achieve the following:
There's an always-on input bar that stays above the keyboard (or at the bottom of the screen if there's no keyboard). This is most likely a UIInputAccessoryView, and I've got this implemented.
There's a sticker button on the bar that, when tapped, dismisses the keyboard AND keeps the input bar in-place AND reveals another view under it that is some other view (containing stickers, etc.) The input bar basically doesn't move at all. The animation is exactly like the keyboard going away, revealing the view that appears to have always been there.
If the keyboard is hidden, tapping on the sticker button does the same as 2. What's really cool is that the sticker view is always the same height as the keyboard - and note that keyboards of different languages can be of different height (autocomplete bar), and at least in Telegram's case it can always find the right height.
Any pointer to how to achieve this is appreciated!

iOS TabBar pushed up on keyboard appearance

I have an iOS8 app which has a UITabBarViewController as part of its master view. Embedded within that is a UITableViewController which has some UITextFields embedded in some of the cells.
When a text view is tapped, the keyboard automatically appears. If necessary, the 'view' is adjusted to allow the textView to remain showing so data can be entered.
The problem is that the tabBarController and associated tabs are also moved up. This is usually OK unless my phone is in landscape which leaves very little room to show the tableview and allow effective gestures (e.g. swiping the tableview up/down).
So, is there a way to get the keyboard to only push-up the tableview within the tabBarController, rather than the whole outer frame also being moved up? Picture below shows the problem. The device is in landscape

IOS keyboard changed its animation

I have an ios app, and it's responsive to keyboard appearance.
Before, the keyboard used to slide in from the bottom up
now it appears from the left corner of the top of the keyboard frame down
What happened to create this change? I cannot find any methods that control how the keyboard becomes visible on the screen

Present UIPopoverController from a moving rect

Just got this weird problem, where I have a scroll view and buttons in the scroll view. I want to display a UIPopover from the button when touched, with UITextFields inside the UIPopover. The problem comes when the Keyboard appears. In certain cases, when the UIButton is so high in the view that the popover can only be displayed under it with the UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp, and when keyboard pops in, this popover cannot move any more up and therefore magically disappears to the top left corner (probably some Apple thing).
My solution is to check the frame of the UIPopover and to check that there is enough space for the keyboard, and if not, scroll the UIScrollView up with the buttons as well in order to be able to push the UIPopover up and so make sure that both the Keyboard and the popover fit.
So the question is: Is it possible to move the popover as the button moves?
Thanks

iPad popover not resizing properly after search keyboard is dismissed

I have a popover that contains a tableview (which is inside a navigation controller) with custom cells and a search bar in the header. Once I enter the search bar the popover shrinks appropriately to make room for the keyboard. Good so far. Once I dismiss the keyboard either by pressing the search button or the dismiss keyboard button, the popover appears to resize a little but does not does return to the full length as I would expect. I've tried all the suggestions to update the popoversize and contentsizeinpopover. They seem to have no effect.
Any thoughts or workarounds?
Thanks,
Rob
