Question

I need to hide the keyboard as soon as a page starts loading. I’ve tried all commonly suggested approaches discussed e.g. here

Following approaches have no effect on the keyboard

[webView endEditing:YES];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.activeElement.blur();"];
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.blur();"];

I invoke them in -webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The problem was that UIViewController‘s returned YES here for UIModalPresentationFormSheet.

- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
  return NO;
}

Have a look at that answer.
