What is it?

When an iOS app's keyboard slides up, it often covers the UITextField or UITextView the user is typing into. IQKeyboardManager handles this automatically: after you enable it, it adjusts the view so the active input field stays visible above the keyboard, without requiring per-screen code.

The library works with UIScrollView, UITableView and UICollectionView, supports all interface orientations, and lets you configure the distance kept between the keyboard and the field. Class-level enable/disable control lets you turn it off for specific screens.

The Swift version, IQKeyboardManagerSwift, is split into subspecs so you can include only the optional pieces you need, such as the Previous/Next/Done toolbar, return key handling, tap-to-resign, keyboard appearance settings, and a UITextView with placeholder support. It is installable via CocoaPods, Carthage and Swift Package Manager, and requires iOS 13.0 or later.
