How to replace buttons on a toolbar under UIWebView keyboard on iOS 6?

The following code works fine on iOS 5.1 but doesn’t work on iOS 6:

UIWindow *keyboardWindow = nil;
for (UIWindow *testWindow in [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]) {
    if (![[testWindow class] isEqual:[UIWindow class]]) {
        keyboardWindow = testWindow;
        break;
    }
}
for (UIView *possibleFormView in [keyboardWindow subviews]) {
    // iOS 5 sticks the UIWebFormView inside a UIPeripheralHostView.
    if ([[possibleFormView description] rangeOfString:@"UIPeripheralHostView"].location != NSNotFound) {
        for (UIView *subviewWhichIsPossibleFormView in [possibleFormView subviews]) {
            if ([[subviewWhichIsPossibleFormView description] rangeOfString:@"UIWebFormAccessory"].location != NSNotFound) {
                UIBarButtonItem *buttonDone =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(pressDone)];
                NSArray *itemsArray;
                itemsArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:buttonDone, nil];
                [(UIToolbar*)subviewWhichIsPossibleFormView setItems:itemsArray];
            }
        }
    }
}

The error on iOS 6:

2012-09-27 16:31:13.537 Linux[2633:907] -[UIWebFormAccessory setItems:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1d886ad0

Thanks a lot for the help!

UIWebFormAccessory is no longer a UIToolbar on iOS6. It contains the UIToolbar you’re looking for, though. Use something like the following to find it on either OS version…

+ (UIToolbar *)findVirginWebKeyboardToolbar:(UIView *)parent
{
    if ([parent isKindOfClass:[UIToolbar class]]) {
        // the stock toolbar contains a single item with a UISegmentedControl customView.
        UIToolbar *tb = (UIToolbar *)parent;
        if ([tb.items count] == 1 && [((UIBarButtonItem *)[tb.items objectAtIndex:0]).customView isKindOfClass:[UISegmentedControl class]]) {
            return tb;
        }
    }

    for (UIView *view in parent.subviews) {
        UIToolbar *tb = [self findVirginWebKeyboardToolbar:view];
        if (tb) return tb;
    }

    return nil;
}
