My Share Extension doesn't require any user input aside from configuration in a table view so I am trying to hide the keyboard when the view is presented in Safari. I'm able to run my code in the simulator fine but when I test on my device, I'm the Share Extension doesn't launch and Safari hangs.

I've tried a few ways to prevent the keyboard from launching

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.textView.text = @"\n Place Holder Text";
    self.textView.editable = NO;
}

As well, I tried it in loadView since that is where SLComposeServiceViewController sets the textView and the textView delegate. 

-(void)loadView{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    self.textView.text = @"\n Place Holder Text";
    self.textView.editable = NO;
}

And just for fun 

-(BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView{

    return NO;
}

All of these work on the Simulator but not on my device.

What could be happening?

Is there some kind of Notification or Observer that I'm (or Safari is) missing

  • If I remember correctly, the class is a generated by iOS to have a read-only `textField`, so setting it's `editable` state to `NO` is likely not going to do anything helpful. I suppose you could attempt to `resignFirstResponder` when the extension is support to first pop up. But there's a chance that subclassing `UIViewController` and creating your own custom view controller is going to be the easiest route if you dont want to use the out-of-the-box solution that's provided with `SLComposeServiceViewController` – Louis Tur Nov 25 '15 at 23:09

You just need to put your code in "viewDidAppear" function. It works fine for me.

-(void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [self.textView setText:@" Place Holder Text"];
    [self.textView setEditable: NO];
}
