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.
