When viewDidLoad set textField editable / enable keyboard

Question

I have an app with a UITextField. When the containing view appears, I want a keyboard to slide up and begin editing this text field. Not sure how I would go about doing this?

I've tried:

func viewDidLoad {
textField.editing == true
textField.selected == true

Answer 1

In viewWillAppear add a call to becomeFirstResponder, something like this:

[textField becomeFirstResponder];

or in Swift:

textField.becomeFirstResponder()
