You do not need to do this in code anymore.

1. Just simply drag UIView to the top bar of current scene and customize it as you want.

2. In code simply put IBOutlet for both: toolbarView and textView and make connections.

   @IBOutlet private var toolbarView: UIView!
   @IBOutlet private var textView: UITextView!
   

3. In viewDidLoad setup your toolbarView as accessoryView of your UItextView.

   override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()
   
       textView.inputAccessoryView = toolbarView
   }
   

The result is following:
