External keyboard bar at screen bottom covers UI

I have a basic UITableView going to the bottom of the screen. When I start typing in a UITextField, using an external keyboard on iPad, this thin gray bar pops up and covers about 1/2 inch at the bottom of the screen. It covers the last cell and makes it hard to see. I was hoping that autolayout with respect to the "safe area" would handle this, but I apparently not. Apparently the safe area is not changed when this keyboard bar shows up.


What's the right way to handle this?
