I wanted to know if there is an option to display a bigger keyboard with a bigger font of keys? Can I control the size of the keys?
No, you cannot. This is standard Apple stuff. You can create your own keyboard from scratch. But It sounds like you are asking if this is just a simple settings thing which it is not.
No, there isn't any way you can control the size of the keys of the keyboard.
You would need to customise your own keyboard by creating your own buttons.

On iPhone, is there a way to make the keyboard show numbers above the letters, like computer keyboards? It seems that the keyboard type doesn't provide that.
I know that this will need more space for the keyboard. I can afford that.
By default, no, this is not possible. However, Apple provides a way for developers to attach views to the keyboard. Take a look at inputAccessoryView and inputAccessoryViewController, both UIResponder properties, these are the properties that are used to do this.
In my app, I have a UITextField using UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress.
There is space key in bottom centre. I think space key is no needed.
So I'd like to change the key to gmail.com or hotmail.com.
Is it possible?
Even if it's possible, Apple will approve it?
Yes, instead of using UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress you could design your own input view (which I suppose in your case would be whatever keyboard you design) and then set that as the input view of your text field.
Sample code can be seen in this tutorial, and more information can be found in this official Apple documentation.
I want to make an application, that have big and clear UI (Like GrabTAXI). In app, every element have big font, i.e: Status bar, keyboard etc.
I try to change font, size of every element, but I think it have other way.
Help me, anyone?
I think you should be use AutoLayout in your project.

This is the best way.
I was wondering if it is possible to get the stock Apple keyboard design as a file to make a own custom keyboard with only slight changes to the original one.
I would like to only change one Key and was hoping that I don't have to build the whole design myself and try to imitate the original design.
Thanks in advance
I built a custom keyboard with the same look as the system keyboard (except it has only one "letter" key!): https://github.com/acoomans/ACKeyboard
I'm sure you can start from there and adapt it to your need. Good luck!
There is another custom keyboard with all the keys here. Looks like the might be a bit hacked together but could be another good place to start. https://github.com/archagon/tasty-imitation-keyboard
Does anyone know the size of a key or how to find the sizes of keys in the on screen keyboard for iPhone and iPad? I'm making a few custom keyboards for my app and I want them to look very much like the original keyboard. Or if you know of a way to just change the keys on the existing keyboard that would also work.
Thanks in advance, Jordan
What’s wrong with taking screen shots?
