iOS 7 - Keyboard animation

Question

I\'m trying to understand the new keyboard animation in iOS 7.0 on the iPhone 5 Simulator. I want to resize my UITableView when the keyboard appears, but I can\

Use UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification instead, because some international keyboards, like the Chinese keyboard, change height during use. Also this code gives you the correct heights for the keyboard, even in landscape mode. (Note: the code below is for Autolayout)

//set your observer, in a method like viewDidLoad
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillChange:) name:UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification object:nil];

- (void)keyboardWillChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
    CGRect initialRect = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
    CGFloat initialHeight = self.view.frame.size.height - [self.view convertRect:initialRect fromView:nil].origin.y;
    CGRect keyboardRect = [notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
    CGFloat newHeight = self.view.frame.size.height - [self.view convertRect:keyboardRect fromView:nil].origin.y;
    //set your constraints here, based on initialHeight and newHeight, which are the heights of the keyboard before & after animation.
    [self.contentView setNeedsUpdateConstraints];
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:[notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue]];
    [UIView setAnimationCurve:[notification.userInfo[UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] integerValue]];
    [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
    [self.contentView layoutIfNeeded];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}
