textview isn't becoming first responder when using iphone X but it works fine for iphone 7 and other devices. I have set the delegate for the textview and use textViewDidBeginEditing delegate method. Any ideas? Thank you!

descTextView.delegate = self

func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView){
     textView.becomeFirstResponder()
}

  • It makes no sense to call `becomeFirstResponder` inside `textViewDidBeginEditing`. `textViewDidBeginEditing` is only called when the text field has already become the first responder. – rmaddy Mar 09 '18 at 19:27
  • Where would you call becomeFirstResponder then? Even if I comment that out, it's not working. – mir Mar 12 '18 at 16:30
  • You don't need to call `becomeFirstResponder`. The text view will become first responder when the user taps on the text view. If you want some other code (say a button press) to trigger the text view then call `becomeFirstResponder` on the text view in the button handler or other relevant code. – rmaddy Mar 12 '18 at 16:40

It will be better to call
textView.becomeFirstResponder()
in your viewWillAppear() method like this, 

    func viewWillAppear() { 
       textView.becomeFirstResponder()
    }


if you can add more info about what is the previous event? or when you want your textView to become first responder? that will be easy to understand your requirement.

    I want the textView to become first responder when a user taps on the textview box to type. It was working fine previously until I updated to ios 11. My only concern with calling textView.becomeFirstResponder in viewWillAppear would be that the keyboard would appear as soon as the screen loads. – mir Mar 12 '18 at 16:29
