Question 175528 in IOS Swift Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Is iOS adjusting bottom constraint constant of view when keyboard visible larger on newer model iPhones?

I am setting up my keyboard will show notifier, getting the keyboard height, and setting the constant value on the bottom constraint as shown here:

Notification Observer

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardWillShow), name: UIResponder.keyboardWillShowNotification, object: nil)

Keyboard Will Show Function

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    guard let keyboardFrame = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else {
        return
    }

    _keyboardHeight = keyboardFrame.cgRectValue.height
    changeStateContainerBottomConstraint.constant = _keyboardHeight
}

However on newer models of phones the value I am getting back is placing the view higher than the top of the keyboard as shown in the screenshots below. I am hesitant to adjust the constraint with a static value as that could change in the future, or from model to model. Has anyone else come across this issue and have a solution?

    It looks like I've found a workable solution. Just needed to find the bottom value of the safe area insets and subtract it from the returned height. Here is what keyboardWillShow looks like now

     @objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    guard let keyboardFrame = notification.userInfo?[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue else {
        return
    }

    _keyboardHeight = keyboardFrame.cgRectValue.height
    let bottom: CGFloat = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window??.safeAreaInsets.bottom ?? 0
    changeStateContainerBottomConstraint.constant = _keyboardHeight - bottom
}

    I would suggest you look at this framework https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager which is the most popular library to handle this kind of stuff. It’s easier to use with a few lines of code like IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true in your AppDelegate file.
