iOS 9 Multitasking Support

[inPhilly]

It seems that this control no longer works with iOS 9 and multitasking. A keyboard can be on the screen from another app, and can stay on the screen while navigating through the app for which this control is used. A view controller may not receive the show notification for the keyboard but will still be affected by the keyboard's presence.

Hmm, good point. Any ideas for a fix?

Somehow the bottom constraint needs to be kept as a single property throughout the app, possibly in the app delegate. So when a view controller appears and the keyboard is already showing, the constraint constant will already be set to the height of the keyboard. But I am not sure how this would work with the existing UIViewController class extension..

Also, it somehow needs to be taken into account when an app is started up and it is already in splitScreen mode and the keyboard is already showing - no notification will be received at all. Now, I don't have an iPad with splitScreen/multitasking and I don't know if that is a possible real-life scenario, but it does happen when i run my app and the splitScreen with keyboard is already showing on the simulator (iPad Air 2).

I'll do some research. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an SDK-limitation here.

No fix for this yet, huh? I would fix it if I had any ideas.
