iPhone X how to handle View Controller inputAccessoryView?

Question

I have a messaging app that has the typical UI design of a text field at the bottom of a full screen table view. I am setting that text field to be the view controller\'s

Answer 1

Until safe are insets are guided by iOS automatically, simple workaround would be to wrap your accessory in container view and set bottom space constraint between accesory view and container view to match safe area insets of window.

Note: Of course this workaround can double your accessory view spacing from bottom when iOS update fixes bottom spacing for accessory views.

E.g.

- (void) didMoveToWindow {
    [super didMoveToWindow];
    if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
        self.bottomSpaceConstraint.constant = self.window.safeAreaInsets.bottom;
    }
}
