Answer 1

Sometimes it helps to first resign the first responder:

var tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer()
tapGesture.rac_gestureSignal().subscribeNext { [weak self] (_) -> Void in
    self?.inputTextField.resignFirstResponder()
    self?.inputTextField.becomeFirstResponder()
}

self.charViewsContainer.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
