Question

How can I change the color of keyboard in iOS 7?

Answer 1

You can only set the keyboard appearance to any of three listed below using the UIKeyboardAppearance.

UIKeyboardAppearanceDefault  // Corresponds to the UIKeyboardAppearanceLight
UIKeyboardAppearanceDark     // Available in iOS 7.0 and later.
UIKeyboardAppearanceLight    // Available in iOS 7.0 and later.

There is one more constant named UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert but, that is now deprecated. You should use UIKeyboardAppearanceDark instead.

You can't use any custom or undefined color. So, Use ...

myTextfield.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceDark;
