How to restrict UITextField to take only numbers in Swift?

Question

I want the user to only enter numeric values in a UITextField. On iPhone we can show the numeric keyboard, but on iPad the user can switch to any keyboard.

Here is a simple solution, you need to connect the event "Editing changed" to this method in your controller

Swift 4

@IBAction func valueChanged(_ sender: UITextField) {
    if let last = sender.text?.last {
        let zero: Character = "0"
        let num: Int = Int(UnicodeScalar(String(last))!.value - UnicodeScalar(String(zero))!.value)
        if (num < 0 || num > 9) {
            //remove the last character as it is invalid
            sender.text?.removeLast()
        }
    }
}
