Animate the keyboard in sync with the UIView while edge-swiping back in iOS7

Question

I\'d like to get the behavior similar to Messages app (also common in most texting apps) in iOS7, where in a conversation view swiping right from the left edge of the screen

Unfortunately, there is no built-in method to do that. I really hope there will be something like UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissModeInteractive for UIViewControllers.

For now, to do any animations in-between viewControllers, you should use a transitionCoordinator:

- (BOOL)animateAlongsideTransition:(void (^)(id context))animation
                        completion:(void (^)(id context))completion;

- (BOOL)animateAlongsideTransitionInView:(UIView *)view
                               animation:(void (^)(id context))animation
                              completion:(void (^)(id context))completion;

For the keyboard you should do something like this:

[self.transitionCoordinator animateAlongsideTransitionInView:self.keyboardSuperview
                                                   animation:
^(id context) {
    self.keyboardSuperview.x = self.view.width;
}
                                                  completion:nil];

As for keyboardSuperview - you can get that by creating a fake inputAccessoryView:

self.textField.inputAccessoryView = [[UIView alloc] init];

Then the superview will be self.textField.inputAccessoryView.superview
