This is what I use with a custom keyboard, seems to work ok, there may be a cleaner approach, not sure.

NSRange range = myTextView.selectedRange;  
NSString * firstHalfString = [myTextView.text substringToIndex:range.location];  
NSString * secondHalfString = [myTextView.text substringFromIndex: range.location];  
myTextView.scrollEnabled = NO;  // turn off scrolling  

NSString * insertingString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"your string value here"];

myTextView.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@%@%@",  
                 firstHalfString,  
                 insertingString,  
                 secondHalfString];  
range.location += [insertingString length];  
myTextView.selectedRange = range;  
myTextView.scrollEnabled = YES;  // turn scrolling back on.
