Is it possible to show keyboard according to language selection.Or I have to create custom keyboard.Please suggest me.
You have no control over which keyboard gets shown, unless you create a custom one, unfortunately. If you had control, you might request to show a keyboard that the user has not enabled in their settings and this would cause a problem. The only keyboards you can request to open are the ones listed in UIKeyboardType

In my iOS app, I want users to name things they create using emoji only. Ideally, when the special text field becomes active, I want the emoji keyboard to be presented, but without an option to change the language. I've been under the impression it's simply not possible to force this until I found out that's exactly what standard iOS 14 Reminders app does.
When editing the list of reminders, one may tap smiling face and choose one of the emojis. Notice how there's no globe to switch the language.
How can I achieve the same in UIKit or SwiftUI? I don't see any "emoji" UIKeyboardType
I am building a project for iOS8 in swift. The default and dark options for keyboard in xcode do not go with the color theme for my app design.
Is there a simple way for to change the colors in the keybaord?
The short answer is no you can't change the look and feel of the system keyboard. Even if you did many people don't even use the default keyboards.
With iOS 8 apple introduced custom keyboard extension.
A custom keyboard replaces the system keyboard for users who want
capabilities such as a novel text input method or the ability to enter
text in a language not otherwise supported in iOS. The essential
function of a custom keyboard is simple: Respond to taps, gestures, or
other input events and provide text, in the form of an unattributed
NSString object, at the text insertion point of the current text input
object.
And here's some useful tutorials about how to create custom keyboard :

In "Settings" -> "General" -> "Keyboard" -> "Shortcuts",we are able to query,add and delete our shortcuts, so when we are typing a shortcut,the full phrase will be showing in the keyboard. So I am wondering if we could access the keyboard shortcuts in code.(for example,I want to add some useful phrases in my app.)
Thanks in advance.
You will not be able to modify the system shortcuts or access them other than the system default (i.e. when the user is typing in a text field or similar).
However, you can check what the user types in a text field within your application using the corresponding delegate methods (e.g. in UITextFieldDelegate). When you detect a shortcut you would like to replace, you get the text field's text and replace the shortcut with the full text.
For anything more specific, you will have to try something yourself and ask more specific questions.
I am making app with default spanish language. In email form I want show english keyboard. Is it possible to do it?
Unfortunately, you cannot control the language of the keyboard. The user chooses which keyboards they would like available via the settings application and can toggle between them using the globe icon on the keyboard. When the keyboard is opened it will open to the most recently used keyboard.check this like http://iphone.appstorm.net/how-to/change-your-keyboard-or-display-language-in-ios/
You can make a customize keyboard. take a UIView add UIButton and add what you want to all in this view.
Does any one know how to Create custom keyboard in iphone? Pls give me any samples for custom keyboard
Hi you need to try following link. They have explained very well and step by step that how to create Custom Keyboard. http://www.appdesignvault.com/ios-8-custom-keyboard-extension/
But while creating Custom Keyboard there are some limitations you must know:
A Custom Keyboard cannot be used to type into certain text input objects. These include the secure text input objects (any object that has its secureText property set to YES) and phone pad objects (any object that has a keyboard type trait of UIKeyboardTypePhonePad or UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad). When the user types in any of these text input objects, the system temporarily replaces your custom keyboard with the system keyboard, and on typing in a non-secure or non-phone pad object, your keyboard resumes.
Input dictation isn’t possible for a custom keyboard since, like all extensions in iOS 8, it has no access to the device microphone.
Selecting text is also not possible. Text selection is under the control of the app that is using the keyboard.
Closely related to the above point, editing menu options i.e. Cut, Copy, Paste are inaccessible. If an app provides an editing menu interface, the keyboard has no access to it.
App developers can reject the use of custom keyboards in their app. This can especially be done in apps that are sensitive to security such as banking apps.
You cannot display key artwork above the top edge of a custom keyboard’s primary view the same way Apple does when you tap and hold a key in the top view.
and very Important you must follow the Apple Extensions guide

Enjoy. Happy coding.!!!
