TextField in SwiftUI and Keyboard Management

You should move your threads to SwiftUI section of the forum. You'll get more focused answers there.

You should have a lookk at this. Seems to be a fairly simple solution to implement.

Link to Stackoverflow provided by @Claude31 is not even accepted, nor helps points to any acceptable solution.

Please fill a feedback so Apple becomes more aware of that. So many people are asking for e.g. 'becomeFirstResponder' (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/650263) but I would also like to see things like (part of my feedback):

• It would be great to be able to set the first responder manually in SwiftUI (e.g. focus TextField or dismiss the keyboard).

• It would be great to be able to add a toolbar above the keyboard (add custom buttons like a ready or next button)

• It would be great to be able to automatically shrink the visible view when the keyboard comes in to view. Like a VStack with the view and the keyboard.

So please fill a feedback. I would love to become a native solution.

Try this view modifier.

Code Block 
struct KeyboardManagment: ViewModifier {
    @State private var offset: CGFloat = 0
    func body(content: Content) -> some View {
        GeometryReader { geo in
            content
                .onAppear {
                    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil, queue: .main) { (notification) in
                        guard let keyboardFrame = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? CGRect else { return }
                        withAnimation(Animation.easeOut(duration: 0.5)) {
                            offset = keyboardFrame.height - geo.safeAreaInsets.bottom
                        }
                    }
                    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: UIResponder.keyboardWillHideNotification, object: nil, queue: .main) { (notification) in
                        withAnimation(Animation.easeOut(duration: 0.1)) {
                            offset = 0
                        }
                    }
                }
                .padding(.bottom, offset)
        }
    }
}
extension View {
    func keyboardManagment() -> some View {
        self.modifier(KeyboardManagment())
    }
}

Call it at the end of body view. Like this:

Code Block 
struct TestView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List {
                Text("Hello, World!")
            }
        }
        .keyboardManagment()
    }
}

It's not perfect but maybe it works for you.

Take a look at .ignoresSafeArea(...), which is new in Xcode 12 beta 4. The first parameter allows you to specify whether or not to include the keyboard in the safe area. Being able to treat the keyboard like a safe area seems to be a good route to go. I find the documentation to be a little confusing, but in my use case, .ignoresSafeArea(.container) allows my view hierarchy to avoid the keyboard. I’m not including keyboard in that first parameter, meaning the keyboard IS considered a safe area and hence my layout avoids it.
