IQKeyboardManager – Prevent issues of keyboard sliding up

While developing iOS apps, we often run into issues where the iPhone keyboard slides up and covers the UITextField/UITextView. IQKeyboardManager allows you to prevent this issue of keyboard sliding up and covering UITextField/UITextView without needing you to write any code or make any additional setup. To use IQKeyboardManager you simply need to add source files to your project.

Key Features

1. **CODELESS**, Zero Lines of Code

2. Works Automatically

3. No More UIScrollView

4. No More Subclasses

5. No More Manual Work

6. No More #imports

IQKeyboardManager works on all orientations, and with the toolbar. It also has nice optional features allowing you to customize the distance from the text field, behaviour of previous, next and done buttons in the keyboard toolbar, play sound when the user navigates through the form and more.

Installation with Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate IQKeyboardManger or IQKeyboardManagerSwift into your Xcode project using Carthage, add the following line to your Cartfile:

github "hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager"

Run carthage to build the frameworks and drag the appropriate framework (IQKeyboardManager.framework or IQKeyboardManagerSwift.framework) into your Xcode project based on your need. Make sure to add only one framework and not both.

Installation with Source Code

IQKeyboardManager (Objective-C): Just drag and drop IQKeyboardManager directory from demo project to your project. That’s it.

IQKeyboardManager (Swift): Drag and drop IQKeyboardManagerSwift directory from demo project to your project

In AppDelegate.swift, just enable IQKeyboardManager.

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

      IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true

      return true
    }
}

Installation with Swift Package Manager

Swift Package Manager(SPM) is Apple’s dependency manager tool. It is now supported in Xcode 11. So it can be used in all appleOS types of projects. It can be used alongside other tools like CocoaPods and Carthage as well.
