Hi,

Thank you for the quick answer.


Sorry about the missing information, so here it's:

We are developing an app for iOS9+ (written in swift and Objective C)

We want to see the background behind the keyboard, meaning the keyboard's background needs to be with completely 100% opacity. We wanna keep the buttons of the characters only.


We tried to use the given keyboard appearance from the UITextField class, which let us only default, dark or light.

We also tried to use apple keyboard extensions but they give us only keyboards without the option to be fully transparent.


Thanks in advance,

Snir
