Enable keyboard return key

Question

I would like to enable the keyboard return key only when some uitextfields are not empty. I read this question How to disable/enable the return key in a UITextField?

Is this the only way? Is it true this could cause Apple to reject the app?

just set textfield.enablesReturnKeyAutomatically = YES. Apple already does it for developper. — zedzhao, Nov 04 '15 at 09:16

Following thing will enable/disable return key automatically.

(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
 textfield.enablesReturnKeyAutomatically = YES;

// your code here

  return YES;  }

This is not a public API, so use it on your own risk.

textField.setValue(true/false, forKeyPath: "inputDelegate.returnKeyEnabled")

You can use the textFieldShouldReturn: method to prevent the return key from returning.

Sorry, I mean that I would the keyboard return key "disactive" if there aren't particular conditions. Using textFieldShouldReturn: I prevent the return key from returning... I would that it was visually disabled. – Sefran2 Mar 02 '11 at 18:27
I figured that that's what you meant; but using that method could at least be a work-around if there is no way to actually disable the button. – GendoIkari Mar 02 '11 at 19:30
Yes, I have not explained well. Thanks for the suggestion. – Sefran2 Mar 03 '11 at 14:23
