Answer 1

Try calling becomeFirstResponder like below

[txtAddNew performSelector:@selector(becomeFirstResponder) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];

As per Apple,

A responder object only becomes the first responder if the current responder can resign first-responder status (canResignFirstResponder) and the new responder can become first responder.

You may call this method to make a responder object such as a view the first responder. However, you should only call it on that view if it is part of a view hierarchy. If the view’s window property holds a UIWindow object, it has been installed in a view hierarchy; if it returns nil, the view is detached from any hierarchy.
