For swift 3/4 I like this case:

1. View Controller is subclass for UITextFieldDelegate
2. In the viewDidLoad function, you have to set yourPhonePadField.delegate = self

3. And override this function:

   override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
      self.view.endEditing(true) 
   }
   

Answer 2

For Swift, the easiest for dismissing keypad for all text fields by tapping anywhere outside the text field is:

override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent)
{
    self.view.endEditing(true)
}

You can implement @mbm's answer really nicely by putting a didSet on the outlet and attaching your inputAccessoryView there:

Swift code:

  @IBOutlet var input: UITextField! { didSet {
    let toolbar = UIToolbar(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: CGSize(width: 0, height: 44)))
    toolbar.items = [
      UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .done, target: self.input,
        action: #selector(resignFirstResponder))
    ]
    input.inputAccessoryView = toolbar
  }}

In xcode 8 / iOS 10 It ends up looking something like this:
