iOS 8 keyboard hides my textview

@Oleg’s solution is good but it doesn’t take into consideration keyboard changes in size while its already showing.. also, he hardcoded the animation duration and a few other parameters. See my solution below:

Add an observer of UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification to the viewDidLoad

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardFrameWillChange:) name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];

And then add the method:

- (void)keyboardFrameWillChange:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    CGRect keyboardEndFrame = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
    CGRect keyboardBeginFrame = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
    UIViewAnimationCurve animationCurve = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] integerValue];
    NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] integerValue];

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:animationDuration];
    [UIView setAnimationCurve:animationCurve];

    CGRect newFrame = self.view.frame;
    CGRect keyboardFrameEnd = [self.view convertRect:keyboardEndFrame toView:nil];
    CGRect keyboardFrameBegin = [self.view convertRect:keyboardBeginFrame toView:nil];

    newFrame.origin.y -= (keyboardFrameBegin.origin.y - keyboardFrameEnd.origin.y);
    self.view.frame = newFrame;

    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

Don’t forget to remove the keyboard observer in both viewDidUnload and in Dealloc.
