Add this method to your UIApplicationDelegate

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application shouldAllowExtensionPointIdentifier:(NSString *)extensionPointIdentifier
    {

        if (extensionPointIdentifier == UIApplicationKeyboardExtensionPointIdentifier)
        {
            return NO;
        }

        return YES;
    }

Swift 5.1

Add to AppDelegate.Swift:

func application(application: UIApplication, shouldAllowExtensionPointIdentifier extensionPointIdentifier: String) -> Bool {
    if (extensionPointIdentifier == UIApplication.ExtensionPointIdentifier.keyboard.rawValue) {
        return false
    }

    return true
}

Actually the answer is not correct. The function should be: `func application(_ application: UIApplication, shouldAllowExtensionPointIdentifier extensionPointIdentifier: UIApplication.ExtensionPointIdentifier) -> Bool` – Pavel Stepanov Jun 10 '21 at 11:15
I disagree with the comment above me. For Swift 5, the original answer worked, the comment did not. – asterisk12 Jan 20 '22 at 17:06

Proper swift 5.1 version

func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    shouldAllowExtensionPointIdentifier extensionPointIdentifier: UIApplication.ExtensionPointIdentifier
) -> Bool {
    return extensionPointIdentifier != UIApplication.ExtensionPointIdentifier.keyboard
}
