I have created a custom inputView for my UITextField. The view itself looks and functions great, but on the iPad I'm getting undo, redo, and paste buttons above my custom inputView. How do I remove those buttons? They don't have any functionality, but they should be removed.

With Swift 3 and XCode 8 I was able to remove the bar by removing the two button groups on the text field input: 

self.textField.inputAssistantItem.leadingBarButtonGroups.removeAll()
self.textField.inputAssistantItem.trailingBarButtonGroups.removeAll()

// hide undo, redo, paste button bar for textfield input view
UITextInputAssistantItem* item = [your_textfield inputAssistantItem];
item.leadingBarButtonGroups = @[];
item.trailingBarButtonGroups = @[];

will hide the top bar for input view.

Try removing the inputAccessoryView:

self.textField.inputAccessoryView = nil;

    That didn't work but did help lead me in the correct direction. Instead of using `inputAccessoryView`, I needed to modify the `inputAssistantItem`. This SO post was very helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32606655/how-to-hide-the-shortcut-bar-in-ios9 – Mike Walker Nov 03 '15 at 14:43
  • I'm trying to do the same thing with a picker - but InputAssistantItem is read only...? – jbyrd May 25 '16 at 16:48
