Input Method Editor - ios 8

Question

Does anybody know some examples to customized a keyboard in ios ? I know that now is impossible to do that, but ios8 would permit this feature. So I guess that someone is doing this right now.

Some proofs:

• Flesky
• Swype
• Swiftkey

Thanks.

I'm working on a library to create customized keyboards - https://github.com/Brimizer/Slidden

The goal is to get you up and running with a basic keyboard very easily. Simple as creating a few keys and adding them to the keyboard.

func setupKeys() {
    let helloKey = KeyboardKeyView(type: .Character, keyCap: "Hello", outputText: "Hello")
    helloKey.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    helloKey.color = UIColor.blueColor()
    self.keyboardView.addKey(helloKey, row: 0)

    let worldKey = KeyboardKeyView(type: .Character, keyCap: "World", outputText: "World")
    worldKey.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    worldKey.color = UIColor.redColor()
    self.keyboardView.addKey(worldKey, row: 0)
}
