Is there a way to prevent the user from moving the cursor in a UITextField? I’d like it to stay at the end of the string.

There’s no way to prevent them from moving the cursor. You can, however, prevent them from editing the text except at the end by implementing the
– textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:method in your text field’s delegate.
Edit: you can also set
userInteractionEnabledtoNOso that the user can’t tap the field. CallbecomeFirstRespondermanually so that the field gets focus since the user can’t tap to focus.
