One potentially-helpful tip following from Engin Kurutepe's answer:

If you have subclassed UITextView, you can override the UITextInputTraits in the subclass implementation of becomeFirstResponder, something like this:

-(BOOL)becomeFirstResponder {
    self.spellCheckingType = UITextSpellCheckingTypeNo;
    self.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
    self.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
    return [super becomeFirstResponder];
}

There is then no need to explicitly resign/becomeFirstResponder around your trait changes.
