In iOS 4.3, Apple introduced the above mentioned method, disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal. It returns YES for UIModalPresentationFormSheet, preventing the keyboard from dismissing.

Overriding this method works, but if you present your view controller inside a UINavigationController, you must subclass UINavigationController and override the method there.

I've confirmed that this does indeed work on iOS 6. Just make sure to pay attention to the UINavigationController clause.

Also verified for iOS 7.0. – Kenny Wyland Mar 22 '14 at 19:59
Dumb question - how to you do this if your UINavigationController is in a Storyboard in XCode 5 ? I don't see any code ready to be changed, to use an overridden copy of this class..? – Mike Gledhill Apr 22 '14 at 11:40
In iOS 8 you can just use `resignFirstResponder`, it'll work. You don't have to mess around with `disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal` or something like that. – Sebastian Greifeneder Apr 03 '15 at 12:40

Now we can

- (BOOL)disablesAutomaticKeyboardDismissal {
    return NO;
}

This seems to have stopped being an effective fix in iOS 6 - anyone else seeing the same? – Snips Sep 27 '12 at 22:28
It is not effective for me in iOS 6.0.x – OscarTheGrouch Dec 26 '12 at 16:32

This used to work for viewControllers presented inside navigationControllers if you implemented the method there (obviously you need to subclass the UINavigationController). I don't know if it still does. – ader Jan 10 '13 at 17:29

As of iOS 6 at least, it won't work until you override the same in a subclass of `UINavigationController`. Helped me! – Ben Kreeger Feb 21 '13 at 19:43
Confirmed to work on iOS 7 with a subclass of UINavigationController. – mackross Dec 18 '13 at 22:40

UPDATE This answer is no longer accurate. See the correct answer.

If your UITextField is in a modal page sheet view (UIModalPresentationFormSheet), then there is (currently) no way to force the device to dismiss the keyboard this devforums post from an apple engineer.
