Keyboard covers view

I have a text view at the bottom of the view controller. When the text view becomes first responder, the keyboard appears, but it covers the text view. How do I make the text view visible?

You can set frame of set content offset by setting y origin.

#pragma mark - Textview delegate

- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
    [UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
    
        //Either set content offset or frame
        //textView.frame = CGRectMake(textView.frame.origin.x, originY, textView.frame.size.width, textView.frame.size.height);
        textView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(textView.frame.origin.x, originY);
    
    } completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    
    }];
}

And finally, when you resign first responder, then again reset it to the original position.

Also, you can try moving your view up whenever the keyboard showing notification is posted.

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
                                    selector: #selector(self.moveViewUp(notification:)),
                                    name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow,
                                    object: nil)


func moveViewUp(notification: NSNotification) {
    let userInfo = notification.userInfo
    let keyboardSize = userInfo![UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue
    let keyboardHeight = keyboardSize.cgRectValue.height
}

And of course, you just bring the view back down when the opposite notification (UIKeyboardWillShow) is posted.
