For iPads, according to this response of @Awais Jamil, add the following code

You can hide keyboard in UITextFieldDelegate method textFieldDidBeginEditing:(textField: UITextField) like below :

func textFieldDidBeginEditing:(textField: UITextField) {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
}

Answer 3

Swift 4.2, This works for me. put in viewDidLoad()

//It will Hide Keyboard
textField.inputView = UIView()
//It will Hide Keyboard tool bar
textField.inputAccessoryView = UIView()
//It will Hide the cursor
textField.tintColor = .white

Its quite simple to do with UITextField. Use this code in viewDidLoad()

self.txtresult.inputView = UIView()
  self.txtresult.inputAccessoryView = UIView()

Answer 5

you could use an "empty" inputview like this:

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    let inputView = UIView(frame: .zero)
    inputView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    inputView.opaque = false
    textField.inputView = inputView

    return true
}

Answer 6

First set delegate with your UITextField in self class.

You can do with below 2 ways.
1. From storyboard
2. From Code ( You can write at viewDidLoad() )

textField.delegate = self

Then declare protocol UITextFieldDelegate in your class.

Now call delegate method.

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    return true
}
