Input accessory view doesn't work in ios 8 . Any hints on how to do that? The accessory view covers the whole screen

I was having a similar problem with the accessory view taking up the entire screen. My solution was to first layout the buttons with Autolayout inside the View (equal widths, set trailing and leading edges, and a few more constraints), and then after setting the accessory view in code per the video I set the frame in code using:

[self.textField.inputAccessoryView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 30)];

This way the height is always 30 and the width is the width of the screen in any orientation.

Originally I had set my View background as grey and was having some issues with the alpha values of the buttons. This cleared up by setting the View background back to transparent.

Also, when dismissing the view there was a little bit of lag between the keyboard and accessory view going away. I solved this by adding this to the viewWillDisappear method.

-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];

    [self.textView resignFirstResponder];
}
