keyboardWillShow in IOS8 with UIKeyboardWillShowNotification

Question

I am running the same code on an IOS 7 and IOS 8 device with differing results

Given a screen with two text fields

In IOS 7 if I touch the first field keyboardWillShow is called but if I touch the second field when the keyboard is already shown it is not called a second times.

In IOS 8 keyboardWillShow is called twice

Is this documented behaviour ?

Answer 1

The reason is the difference in the keyboard. If the second field is a password field this means there is another keyboard under the hood. Therefore the notification is sent twice.
