How to develop a custom input method on IOS platform

I want to develop a custom input method on iOS platform.

From now on, Apple doesn't provide any input method API of this field.

I know that if we want to install a new input method, we need to jb first and install the new method from Cydia

So, can anybody help me to find the API about how to develop a new input method for iOS.

Thanks a lot!

  • You don't need to jailbreak to use a custom keyboard in your app. You can create your own keyboard view and set it as the .inputView of your text field.

    To replace the keyboard across the whole device, you would need to jailbreak, but I don't know what you'd need to do next, so apologies if that is your question.
