KeyboardKitPro

This version fixes things that break in Xcode 16 and iOS 18.

First of all, it makes multi-gesture buttons work in scroll views, when building from Xcode 16 and running on iOS 18. This is required for the KeyboardKit Pro emoji keyboard to work.

Second, this version makes .url keyboard actions render as SwiftUI Links, since iOS 18 can no longer open URLs using the selector-based approach.

✨ Features

• GestureButton is a new inline dependency.
• Image has a new .keyboardUrl extension.

💡 Adjustments

• GestureButton is used for all buttons instead of the deprecated one.
• KeyboardAction.url will by default use the new .keyboardUrl image.
• KeyboardAction.url will by default render as a plain SwiftUI Link.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Dictation.DisabledKeyboardService now resets its context on the main queue, which silences a background thread warning.

🗑️ Deprecations

• Gestures.GestureButton and some related types have been deprecated.

This version adjusts Pro licenses.

This version adjusts Pro licenses.

This version fixes a keyboard button gesture bug, where accidentally touching a button when e.g. swiping a scroll view in the toolbar (common for many keyboards that adds actions to the toolbar) causes SwiftUI to not submit a gesture ended event.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Gestures.GestureButton will now automatically cancel its pressed state if it hasn't received a second gesture event after a certain delay. While this doesn't fix the bug, it will make the button restore itself whenever it happens.

This version fixes a few inconsistencies and bugs.

💡 Adjustments

• Autocomplete.ToolbarStyle adjusts the minimum height from 50 to 48 to align closer with the native keyboards, while still leaving room for the standard callouts.

👑 KeyboardKit Pro

• Autocomplete.LocalService now correctly regards lexicon suggestions as pure complementary, since they (as they should) ignore the current casing, and therefore can mess up capitalization when typing.

This version continues to rename types to make things more consistent in the 9.0 release. This means that are currently many deprecated names (which may be confusing), but it's all in service for a clean 9.0.

This version also adds a new KeyboardApp type that can be used to define all information for your app. This makes it easy to keep all app-specific information in one place, set up the main app target, etc.

This version also adds a new KeyboardAppView view that can automatically set up main app to use App Group synced settings, register your KeyboardKit Pro license (if any), etc. This removes a lot of manual work.

This version deprecates the recently added settings types, and replaces them with adding persistency to the various context properties instead. This avoids having to keep the contexts in sync with the settings.

This version adds support for Emoji 15.1, which adds a bunch of new emojis, and also adds memory optimized emoji keyboard styles, which make the emoji keyboard consume a LOT less memory, by rendering lower resolution grid items.

This version also tweaks the emoji keyboard configuration for all device types, to make the emoji keyboard look a lot closer to the native emoji keyboard on all device types, including 13" iPads, in both portrait and landscape.

KeyboardKit Pro adds new settings screens, like KeyboardApp.SettingsScreen and KeyboardApp.LocaleScreen, which makes it a lot easier than before to add keyboard settings to the main app target, as well as to the keyboard.

💥 Breaking changes

• KeyboardContext now has even more KeyboardLocale-based versions of some Locale-based functions.
• KeyboardLocale has new ListItem & ListDragHandle views to simplify building locale-based lists.
• KeyboardLocale.ContextMenu now supports providing custom locales instead of using the context ones.
• KeyboardLocaleInfo has new matches(query:in:) functionality to match locales on free-text queries.

• KeyboardSettings settings properties have been deprecated and moved to the context.

8.7.2

This patch defers some heavy memory allocations that is unintentionally caused by the emoji keyboard, by only loading the keyboard when it's requested.

While the emoji keyboard may still cause memory pressure in keyboard extensions that load other heavy components into memory, it will not affect these keyboards on load.

The memory issues are described in a GitHub issue, and seems to be caused by SwiftUI. You can reproduce it by just adding the emoji keyboard to the extension and scroll through the categories.

This memory issue is a top priority, that must be fixed in the upcoming 8.8.

✨ Features

• Callouts.DisabledActionProvider is a new, disabled action provider.
• KeyboardLayout.DisabledProvider is a new, disabled layout provider.

🌐 Localization

• Hebrew now uses a newline arrow instead of text.

💡 Adjustments

🐛 Bug fixes

• Keyboard.Services now properly applies an inverse offset for RTL locales.

New from RC1

This version fixes some bugs that were found in RC1 and makes it easier to set up App Store-synced settings. It also adds a new KeyboardApp struct that can specify all important information about your app, as well as a KeyboardAppView that makes it a lot easier to set up the main app, register your KeyboardKit Pro license, etc.

‼️ Important information

KeyboardKit 8.8 has a lot of deprecations, since the structure is being changed and types being renamed to make the upcoming 9.0 cleaner.

These changes don't affect KeyboardActionHandler (which is a better name than *service) and KeyboardStyleProvider which will most probably be removed in 9.0 and replaced with view modifiers.

KeyboardKit 9 is planned to be released soon after the public release of iOS 18 and all corresponding OS versions. It will bump the deployment target to iOS 15.

8.8

This version continues to rename types to make things better in the upcoming 9.0 release. This means that there are currently many deprecated names (which may be confusing), but it's all in service for a clean 9.0.

This version deprecates the recently added settings types, and replaces them with adding persistency to the various context properties instead. This avoids having to keep the contexts in sync with the settings.

To avoid compile-time warnings, these deprecated settings are currently only soft deprecated with a code comment. They will however be completely removed in KeyboardKit 9.0, so make sure to start using the contexts instead.

This version adds support for Emoji 15.1, which adds a bunch of new emojis, and also adds memory optimized emoji keyboard styles, which make the emoji keyboard consume a LOT less memory, by rendering lower resolution grid items.

This version also tweaks the emoji keyboard configuration for all device types, to make the emoji keyboard look a lot closer to the native emoji keyboard on all device types, including larger iPads in both portrait and landscape.

This version improves the overall autocomplete behavior.

The local autocomplete service will now return proper unknown statuses and suggest any lexicon matches as autocorrections. The standard action handler will automatically ask the autocomplete provider to learn any applied unknown suggestions, if isAutoLearnEnabled is true.

This way to learn unknown suggestions will hopefully solve many frustrations involved with autocomplete, where the provider will behave better over time. Please provide feedback if these adjustments don't behave as expected.

The local autocomplete service can also perform next character prediction, by providing it with the typed text and a list of suggestions. This will be merged with the autocomplete operation in version 9.0.

The autocomplete context also has new ways of registering your own custom autocorrections for any locale, in case you find the default behavior to be lacking in some areas.

Furthermore, this version adds new persistent settings types, adds a KeyboardLocaleInfo protocol to make KeyboardLocale and Locale share many properties, and makes it possible to define which text to use when ending the current sentence.

🚨 Important Information

• AutocompleteService and all implementations have been renamed to use the new Service name.

🗑️ Deprecations

• Keyboard.ReturnKeyType prefersAutocomplete has been deprecated, since the keyboard type should determine this.

IMPORTANT! This version has a bug where unknown suggestions are not learned when tapped. Until RC3 is out, you can make this work by adding the following in the KeyboardKit Pro license configuration block:

guard let handler = services.actionHandler as? KeyboardAction.StandardHandler else { return }
handler.autocompleteProvider = services.autocompleteProvider

This version improves the overall autocomplete behavior.

The local autocomplete provider now returns proper unknown statuses for the leading quotation suggestion. The standard action handler will automatically ask the autocomplete provider to learn applied unknown suggestions, if isAutoLearnEnabled is true.

KeyboardKit 8.7 improves the overall autocomplete behavior, adds a brand new settings concept and has many other features & fixes.

The local autocomplete provider now returns proper unknown statuses for the leading quotation suggestion. The standard action handler will automatically ask the autocomplete provider to learn applied unknown suggestions, if isAutoLearnEnabled is true.

This way to learn unknown suggestions will hopefully solve many frustrations involved with autocomplete, where the provider will behave better over time. Please provide feedback if these adjustments don't behave properly, or as expected.

Another change is that the KeyboardInputViewController will check more configurations before performing autocomplete. The keyboard context's prefersAutocomplete property will now also be used to make this decision.

Another change worth knowing, is that the Autocomplete.ToolbarItem view no longer adds quotations around unknown suggestions. That responsibility has been moved to the autocomplete provider. The view will just show the titles it receives.

Furthermore, this version adds brand new persistent settings types, adds a KeyboardLocaleInfo protocol that makes KeyboardLocale and Locale share many properties, and makes it possible to define which text to use when ending the current sentence.

🚨 Important Information

KeyboardStyleProvider and Keyboard.ButtonStyle now supports defining native Fonts, to give you more freedom when designing custom keyboards. This may result in breaking changes, if you use have overridden the style provider font or access the style font, but these should be easy to fix.
