Disable Keyboard Shortcut Bar?

As of iOS 9 beta 2, the documentation is still very thin on the ground (and vaguely misleading) but I've had success using this UITextFieldDelegate method implementation.

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField*)textField
{
    UITextInputAssistantItem* item = [textField inputAssistantItem];
    item.leadingBarButtonGroups = @[];
    item.trailingBarButtonGroups = @[];
}

It works on UiSearchBar Also

-(void) searchBarTextDidBeginEditing:(nonnull UISearchBar *)searchBar

{

UITextInputAssistantItem* item = [searchBar inputAssistantItem];

item.leadingBarButtonGroups = @[];

item.trailingBarButtonGroups = @[];

}

Thank you! Is there a way to reset / toggle the bar, so recovering the items which are being removed?

Did not work in iOS 9 beta 3, an empty bar is shown. Any other ideas?

I'd also like to know how to remove the bar

I'd like to remove the bar completely for now, has anyone figured out a way to do this?

This works for me on beta6. Is it still not working for you? You might need to turn off predictive text since it uses the same bar by setting

autocorrectionType

UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo.

iOS 16, Swift 5.7

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    textField.inputAssistantItem.leadingBarButtonGroups = []
    textField.inputAssistantItem.trailingBarButtonGroups = []
}
