I have a popover view containing a tableview, and inside of the tableview are various UITextFields.

If one of the text fields is selected and the keyboard is showing, and I swipe downwards on the popover view, the popover closes, but the keyboard remains visible.

I updated my viewWillDisappear method on the view controller to have it issue a resignFirstResponder to the active input view when the popover closes, and although this code gets called, it doesn't close the keyboard.

The problem only exists on an iPhone. When I run the same code on an iPad, it works as expected (tapping outside of the popover view closes both the view and the keyboard).

If I dismiss the popover myself after issuing resignFirstResponder, that works. It is only the case where the user swipes down to dismiss that the problem appears.

You could try this:

keep a reference to the TextField when you select it, in a var in the ViewController

var activeTextField : UITextField?

in viewWillDisappear, call resignFirstResponder on this reference

activeTextField?.resignFirstResponder()

It is only the case where the user swipes down to dismiss that the problem appears : what do you swipe down ? The popover ?

Basically I'm swiping down from the top edge of the view. This is the only time I see the problem. If I close the view by calling dismiss myself (for example if I put a cancel button in the view), it works fine. I don't really need or care about the swipe-to-close behavior. Can it be disabled?
