General information

What happened?

When first time opening chat controller, I auto-generate the welcome message as shown on the screenshot (keyboard goes over input bar):

If I pop controller from the stack and re-access it again, it always works. So, apparently, first load is always the problem.
I have viewDidAppear() defined like:

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
  
        inputToolbar.contentView.textView.becomeFirstResponder()
}

I have already tried adding IQKeyboardManagerSwift to the project and that didn't help. Does anyone have an idea why is that happening?

I have the same issue however it's more intermittent. I initially thought it was related to rotation but I can't reproduce it frequently enough to debug.

@yurybelevskiy, thanks for submitting the issue. As for the issue, I was not able to replicate it in the demo project. Can you provide more info?

☝️ same issue, keyboard obscures the send button?

[GarySabo]

Has anyone else had this issue? I feel like it's something I'm missing... again keyboard simply obscures the input bar so that you can't send a message
