There is no keyboardWill Show choice.

on the inter active app when we are making the key board the IDE does not show keyboardWillShow as an option to ViewController. . Is this a Swift 3.1 thing. As a matter of fact a key board does not show up on my app at all. It takes text from my laptop keyboard.

Do you have 

import UIKit

in your file?

And you have the functions written in your code

    func keyboardWillShow(_ notification: Notification) {
        if let info = notification.userInfo, let keyboardFrame = [UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue {
            let frame = keyboardFrame.cgRectValue
            textFieldBottomConstraint.constant = frame.size.height + 10

            UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.8) {self.view.layoutIfNeeded()

            }
        }
    }

    func keyboardWillHide(_ notification: Notification){
        textFieldBottomConstraint.constant = 40

        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.8) { self.view.layoutIfNeeded() }
    }

    deinit {
        NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
    }

}

Where is this located? Pasan said it was the system that will automatically put keyboard in the APP and there was no object for it. So I figured for some reason mine did not because it is the new 3.1. On his video he seemed surprised that the keyboard showed up by itself. It may have been a glitch or feature in 3.0. So because he got it automatically he never showed this code.

Pasan said to set my simulator. I posted how to do it.

FOR ANY ONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM. Pasan let me know to go to the simulator and turn on the key board. 

   go to simulator menu and :  hardware> simulator> keyboard> toggle software keyboard

(this is not code) This will make it display.

Thanks — the keyboard wasn't showing up in the simulator for me, either...

Had the exact same issue. May be worth him adding a short cut-away clip or text on screen to notify students to look at a link to directions.

Alternately, the k keyboard command will work and avoid surfing thru the menus. You can also deselect the hardware keyboard option, but then that grays out software keyboard option.

Cancel this option in Simulator "Hardware>Keyboard>Connection HardWare Keyboard". the keyboard will show up !

Hi

I think the k keyboard command while leaving Connection HardWare Keyboard enabled is better to display it because it can also make the keyboard not show if it's in the way. Canceling that connection hardware keyboard option grays out the option for the keyboard command.
