iOS 8 - How to hide suggestion list above keyboard?

Is there any way to hide suggestions list above keyboard? I couldn't find any solution in documentation.

Solution 1:

Yes there is. You have to disable autocorrection on the text field/text/any other class that conforms to the UITextInputTraits protocol, which can be done through the autocorrectionType property.

textField.autocorrectionType = .no

Additionally, if you're interested, the following are the only UIKeyboardTypes that don't have suggestions by default.

• DecimalPad
• NumberPad
• PhonePad

Solution 2:

Swift 4.0 +:

textfield.autocorrectionType = .no

To hide the bar (predictive bar), use this code:

if #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
        var item = textFeild.inputAssistantItem
        item.leadingBarButtonGroups = [];
        item.trailingBarButtonGroups = [];
    }

For disabling copy-and-paste, use this function:

override func selectionRects(for range: UITextRange) -> [Any] {
    return []
}

override func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
    let menu = UIMenuController.shared
    menu.isMenuVisible = false
    return false
}
