One of the behaviors of iOS devices which I see as a limitation is that the default keyboard hides the views behind it. Hence the user cannot interact with the UIViews and Controls behind the keyboard. I found a great answer on StackOverflow to solve this problem. However the code used in this answer moves every textField by the same amount. So even if you are editing a textField which does not get hidden behind the textField will still move up and may disappear out of the device screen upwards.

My solution to the problem is a small modification to the answer on SO. Here I am sending an offset by which the textField has to be moved up and down with keyboard show/hide respectively. See the demo to better understand this.

Objective C Code

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{

    [self animateTextField:textField up:YES withOffset:textField.frame.origin.y / 2];
}

-(void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField{

    [self animateTextField:textField up:NO withOffset:textField.frame.origin.y / 2];

}
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField{

    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return true;
}

-(void)animateTextField:(UITextField*)textField up:(BOOL)up withOffset:(CGFloat)offset
{
    const int movementDistance = -offset;
    const float movementDuration = 0.4f;
    int movement = (up ? movementDistance : -movementDistance);
    [UIView beginAnimations: @"animateTextField" context: nil];
    [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState: YES];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration: movementDuration];
    self.view.frame = CGRectOffset(self.view.frame, 0, movement);
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

Swift Code

func animateTextField(textField: UITextField, up: Bool, withOffset offset:CGFloat)
{
    let movementDistance : Int = -Int(offset)
    let movementDuration : Double = 0.4
    let movement : Int = (up ? movementDistance : -movementDistance)
    UIView.beginAnimations("animateTextField", context: nil)
    UIView.setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState(true)
    UIView.setAnimationDuration(movementDuration)
    self.view.frame = CGRectOffset(self.view.frame, 0, CGFloat(movement))
    UIView.commitAnimations()
}

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(textField: UITextField)
{
    self.animateTextField(textField, up: true, withOffset: textField.frame.origin.y / 2)
}

func textFieldDidEndEditing(textField: UITextField)
{
    self.animateTextField(textField, up: false, withOffset: textField.frame.origin.y / 2)
}

func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField) -> Bool
{
    textField.resignFirstResponder()
    return true
}
