Answer 1

In shouldChangeCharactersIn method return false if new string count is greater than 15. Else remove (0) and empty spaces, then if the string isn't empty add (0) at the beginning. Then split the string by every 3 characters and join all string with space separator.

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    var oldText = (textField.text! as NSString).replacingCharacters(in: range, with: string)
    if oldText.count > 15 { return false }
    oldText = oldText.replacingOccurrences(of: "(0)", with: "").replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
    if !oldText.isEmpty {
        oldText = "(0)" + oldText
    }
    let newText = String(stride(from: 0, to: oldText.count, by: 3).map {
        let sIndex = String.Index(encodedOffset: $0)
        let eIndex = oldText.index(sIndex, offsetBy: 3, limitedBy: oldText.endIndex) ?? oldText.endIndex
        return String(oldText[sIndex..
