Corona SDK - Textfield and ios8 - ios8

My friend has a problem with a textfield with ios8. He has a chat style app that have that textfield on the bottom of the app that is moving over the keyboard that appear if he tap on it. Everything work well, but with new iOS there is the problem of the autocorrector that can appear or not. How he can detect if autocorrector is appearing or not?
I put some image for make you understand better my problem:
This image is with the autocorrect not activated
This image is with the autocorrect activated
He needs that in both cases he can view the textfield of text.
Regards,
Roberto

Xamarin Forms buttons stop receiving mouse clicks after clicking on SkiaSharp CanvasView on iOS

I use SkiaSharp canvas to draw the main game screen, and then there are various Xamarin.Forms Buttons around the UI. This all works fine on when used directly on iPhone or iPad using a finger. However, when I connect a mouse (e.g., through a MacBook or otherwise), the buttons start working with about 10% chance after mouse-clicking on the SkiaSharp canvas (and not receiving the mouse click events with 90% chance). The SkiaSharp canvas itself works just fine.
If I bring up the iOS app launch menu from the bottom (which probably somehow temporarily exists the mouse navigation on the app), the buttons start working again with the mouse. But if I click the SkiaSharp canvas again with the mouse, the buttons have a high chance of becoming disabled again. If I change to using a finger, all works fine (even if the mouse clicks were not being registered immediately before). However, mouse clicks are not being registered even after touching with a finger, so finger-touching does not reset the issue with the mouse (but bringing up the menu from the bottom does).
We found this bug by testing the iOS game on MacBook Pro (the iOS apps recently came available on the App Store) but the same issue persists also directly with an iPad / mouse combination. It seems to be some sort of an issue between using a mouse (on iPad or on MacBook Pro), SkiaSharp canvas and Xamarin.Forms buttons.
Does anyone know what the root cause of the problem is and what is the workaround?
Not an answer as such, but some more information about reproducing the issue: A simpler repro case may be this small project: https://github.com/jrc14/TraceMatching/ .
Don't worry too much about what it's doing, but note that you're mean to click in the grey Skia canvas in the middle to create 'targets' - and that after you've done that, mouse-clicks are getting lost.
If you run it on a Mac, you'll see that, though the clicks get lost after you've clicked on the Skia canvas, they will start being received again if you click on something else (another app, or the Mac background).
(further edit) - after some noodling around I did find a workaround. If, once you've finished processing the touch action on the SKCanvasView, you reset its EnableTouchEvents property (i.e. set it to false, then back to true again), it seems that the clicks don't get lost any more,

ipad storyboard in xcode cannot drag button

I'm running xcode 4.5.2 to write an iOS app for both iphone & ipad ("universal" app).
I'm able to use the iphone storyboard to drag & drop buttons, labels, etc onto it. In fact I have functioning code on the iphone side.
However, since the beginning, I have not been able to drag & drop anything onto the ipad storyboard. When I try to do so the buttons, labels, etc just "bounce off".
Is there a way to reset the iPad storyboard so that I can get a clean start? It potentially could be that I had mistakenly (this is my very first iOS app) dragged a view or view controller onto the ipad story board. I tried deleting it but the whole ipad storyboard disappears after that.
It is probably something very simple but I'm very new to this. Thanks.
You can only drag & drop items into a view if you are in the most "zoomed-in" way of viewing it. Try pressing the "=" in the bottom right corner when you bring up your iPad storyboard (this will toggle between the most zoomed-in and the most previous zoom out). Once it zooms you in all the way, try dropping something onto your view again.
EDIT: Per Xcode 8 Release Notes, Interface Builder should now allow editing at all zoom levels.

Xcode 4.5 "Apply retina 4 Form factor" toggle button not working properly

I'm trying to update an IOS app for IOS6 and iPhone 5, but I have a problem resizing some views from the main Storyboard.
When I click on the new "Apply Retina 4 Form Factor" button, some of the views included in the StoryBoard don´t resize. I´ve checked all the settings for every Scene and seem to be configured in the same way. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
You might have found your solution but I just had a similar problem. For future notice, I found the fix was in the show size inspector and instead of using layout rectangle, I used frame rectangle.
I was having the same problem, this answer worked for me and finally removed the letterbox:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12927282/539149
So add a 640x1136 launch image called Default-568h#2x.png and set the "Retina (4-inch)" target setting to it. More info for the other sizes here:

Just in case it helps others, I had tried these links and none of them got rid of the letterbox, but they did at least enable the resize masks:

Xcode iPad simulator keyboard opens in middle of screen

I am running xcode 4.3.2 and just started having the following problem.
All projects running in the simulator are positioning the popup keyboard in the center of the IPAD simulator. The IPHONE simulator is fine with the normal keyboard positioned at the bottom of the screen. Even a simple new project with a single text field shows the keyboard in the middle of the screen with equal amounts of white space above and bellow. This occurs in all orientations.
Interestingly, UIPickerViews also exhibit the same behavior.
This is driving me nuts, as it has been fine for many months and now all the objects (text fields etc.) are hidden when the keyboard plops down smack in the middle of the screen.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Tom
This is a feature of the iPad. You can "drag" the keyboard with the drag handle in the lower-right hand corner of the keyboard. The image from this blog post by Rob Rogers indicates how to use it. My guess is you inadvertently moved your keyboard.

How to make an iOS app support landscape orientation in XCode?

How to make an iOS app support landscape orientation?
How do you make it support both landscape and portrait, where you can just press a button to activate it.
for any new people reading this old post just go to main.storyboard->click on the view controller click on simulated metrics (the fourth icon that pops up, looks kind of like a pentagon belt buckle)
then orientation->Landscape this is for Xcode 5
