UITextField, automatically move to next after 1 character

Question

Scenario: I have 4 UITextFields that only accept 1 character. Easy.

Problem: After I enter the 1 character, I want the next TextField to become active automatically with

I know this is a very old question, but here's my approach for allowing a single numeric value only across four UITextFields, and automatically 'tabbing' to the next one (pin1-pin4 each represents a PIN number digit lol, and are retained as properties):

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField*)textField;
{
    if (textField == pin1)
    {
        [pin2 becomeFirstResponder];
    }
    else if (textField == pin2)
    {
        [pin3 becomeFirstResponder];
    }
    else if (textField == pin3)
    {
        [pin4 becomeFirstResponder];
    }

    return NO;
}

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    // This allows numeric text only, but also backspace for deletes
    if (string.length > 0 && ![[NSScanner scannerWithString:string] scanInt:NULL])
        return NO;

    NSUInteger oldLength = [textField.text length];
    NSUInteger replacementLength = [string length];
    NSUInteger rangeLength = range.length;

    NSUInteger newLength = oldLength - rangeLength + replacementLength;

    // This 'tabs' to next field when entering digits
    if (newLength == 1) {
        if (textField == pin1)
        {
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNextResponder:) withObject:pin2 afterDelay:0.2];
        }
        else if (textField == pin2)
        {
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNextResponder:) withObject:pin3 afterDelay:0.2];
        }
        else if (textField == pin3)
        {
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNextResponder:) withObject:pin4 afterDelay:0.2];
        }
    }
    //this goes to previous field as you backspace through them, so you don't have to tap into them individually
    else if (oldLength > 0 && newLength == 0) {
        if (textField == pin4)
        {
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNextResponder:) withObject:pin3 afterDelay:0.1];
        }
        else if (textField == pin3)
        {
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNextResponder:) withObject:pin2 afterDelay:0.1];
        }
        else if (textField == pin2)
        {
            [self performSelector:@selector(setNextResponder:) withObject:pin1 afterDelay:0.1];
        }
    }

    return newLength <= 1;
}

- (void)setNextResponder:(UITextField *)nextResponder
{
    [nextResponder becomeFirstResponder];
}
