I was wondering if there is a method that would allow me to detect from the keyboard container app whether the associated keyboard has been activated in the
Just in case here is Swift version of Kurt's brilliant and awesome answer:
func isKeyboardExtensionEnabled() -> Bool {
guard let appBundleIdentifier = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier else {
fatalError("isKeyboardExtensionEnabled(): Cannot retrieve bundle identifier.")
}
guard let keyboards = UserDefaults.standard.dictionaryRepresentation()["AppleKeyboards"] as? [String] else {
// There is no key `AppleKeyboards` in NSUserDefaults. That happens sometimes.
return false
}
let keyboardExtensionBundleIdentifierPrefix = appBundleIdentifier + "."
for keyboard in keyboards {
if keyboard.hasPrefix(keyboardExtensionBundleIdentifierPrefix) {
return true
}
}
return false
}
