  • Hello, I've already tried this, but I want the keyboard automatically appears without tapping on the textfield. – Blisko Feb 27 '18 at 10:14
  • @Blisko Yes, you can add that line on viewDidLoad(), than it will appear automatically – Kaushik Makwana Feb 27 '18 at 10:17

Try this code in viewDidAppear or viewWillAppear

textfieldname.becomeFirstResponder()

Update for SwiftUI 3

If you are using UIViewRepresentable, you can use .becomeFirstResponder() there.

textfieldname.becomeFirstResponder()

    Well, to strictly answer the question, it would be done on `viewWillAppear` instead. – Cœur Feb 27 '18 at 10:18
  • Yes, you can put my code on viewillappear() instead of viewdid load – Jignesh Radadiya Feb 27 '18 at 10:22
  • I've put it in the ViewDidLoad but the keyboard didn't appear automatically. I don't use a textfied, but a custom view. Is this linked? – Blisko Feb 27 '18 at 10:23
  • This code only work with the controls that allow editing of text or texting,like UITextField and UITextView – Jignesh Radadiya Feb 27 '18 at 10:26
  • @Blisko Can you tell us a little more about the custom view? Does it contain a text field that you are trying to type into? If so, you might want to do something such as `customView.textField.becomeFirstResponder()` – Hodson Feb 27 '18 at 11:53
  • Hi I ve managed to display the keyboard with becomeFirstResponder() in the custom view. – Blisko Feb 27 '18 at 11:59
