The keyboard is accessible for you to use throughout the system regardless of this setting. Note that I have decades of experience as a programmer, but I need a way to get started quickly by creating simple keyboards that encode Unicode characters, and don't want to spend a lot of time searching for how to do this."Allow Full Access" has nothing to do with using the actual keyboard. I have found a version of Swift that downloads to my iPhone, but have no idea how to proceed from there. I do not want to have to use a laptop or desktop to create a keyboard I would like to do all this work on my iPhone, or occasionally on my iPad, and share the keyboards between my iPhone and iPad. For example, I use the Greek keyboard a lot, but there are many other symbols in Unicode that I would like to use in my writing, and creating a custom keyboard seems to be the solution.Īll instructions on creating custom keyboards usually come back to using XCode or Swift.

I would like to create a keyboard or two that contain characters I need to write.
