InputBarAccessoryView & inputTextView disappeared after searchbar has focused

[ismaelShabrawy]

Dears,

Now the app have view controller has the tableview to show realtime chat message and we added InputBarAccessoryView and implement it and it working .

but we have a search bar when this search bar get focus and user type in the InputBarAccessoryView and the input text disappear from the screen and even in the debug view hierarchy
as the attached images:

before the search bar get focus the input text appears :

after the search bar focused and the user type :

so I need to show the InputBarAccessoryView again after the user finish searching

• What version of InputBarAccessoryView are you using? 6.3.0
• What version of iOS are you running on? 17.0.3
• What version of Swift are you running on? 5.0
• What device(s) are you testing on? Are these simulators? iPhone 12 Pro Max, no

I used this before focus searchbar

        self.messageInputBar.resignFirstResponder()
        self.messageInputBar.inputTextView.resignFirstResponder()

and this after the user end search or clicks the cancel button:

            self.messageInputBar.becomeFirstResponder()
            self.messageInputBar.inputTextView.becomeFirstResponder()

if let window = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window {
                    window?.makeKey()
                    window?.becomeFirstResponder()
                }

and still not visible to the user

Thanks

When using InputBarAccessoryView as an inputAccessoryView of a UIViewController, you should be making the view controller the first responder. It is expected that when it is not the first responder, the input bar is hidden.
