NEW ANSWER (previous one was not working properly)

OK so since that is not working because it disables scrolling also, you should try to:

Implement UITextFieldDelegate protocol
In your view controller add the text

@interface YourViewController () <UITextViewDelegate>

In viewDidLoad set yourself as a delegate:

yourUITextView.delegate = self;

Implement the delegate method below:

- (BOOL)textViewShouldBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{ 
   return NO; 
}

When the textview is about to edit the text, this method will be called automatically. It returns no, so the editing won’t start.

It is very important that you undo the changes from the previous answers: Do not set the editable field to NO

I tried it and it’s working. Hope it helps!

OLD ANSWER

when you declare the variable, or in your viewdidload method, set the editable property to NO:

yourUITextView.editable = NO;

or

[yourUITextView setEditable:NO]

That should prevent the keyboard from appearing.
