UITextView cursor below frame when changing frame

Question

I have a UIViewCOntrollerthat contains a UITextView. When the keyboard appears I resize it like this:

All of the others answers I tried behaved somewhat strangely for me. Using an NSTimer to perform the scroll also meant that the user couldn't scroll up, since the caret would then end up off-screen and it would immediately scroll back down again. In the end I stuck with the original approach of changing the UITextView frame on the keyboard notification events, then added the following methods:

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text {
    // Whenever the user enters text, see if we need to scroll to keep the caret on screen
    [self scrollCaretToVisible];
    return YES;
}

- (void)scrollCaretToVisible
{
    //This is where the cursor is at.
    CGRect caretRect = [self.textView caretRectForPosition:self.textView.selectedTextRange.end];

    // Convert into the correct coordinate system
    caretRect = [self.view convertRect:caretRect fromView:self.textView];

    if(CGRectEqualToRect(caretRect, _oldRect)) {
        // No change
        return;
    }

    _oldRect = caretRect;

    //This is the visible rect of the textview.
    CGRect visibleRect = self.textView.frame;

    //We will scroll only if the caret falls outside of the visible rect.
    if (!CGRectContainsRect(visibleRect, caretRect))
    {
        // Work out how much the scroll position would have to change by to make the cursor visible
        CGFloat diff = (caretRect.origin.y + caretRect.size.height) - (visibleRect.origin.y + visibleRect.size.height);

        // If diff < 0 then this isn't to do with the iOS7 bug, so ignore
        if (diff > 0) {
            // Scroll just enough to bring the cursor back into view
            CGPoint newOffset = self.textView.contentOffset;
            newOffset.y += diff;
            [self.textView setContentOffset:newOffset animated:YES];
        }
    }
}

Works like a charm for me
