Nativescript: Soft Keyboard controller issue on iOS

[NathanaelA]

Unless I'm totally messing up all my projects on iOS somehow; when the Android Keyboard comes up the screen shrinks or scrolls to show the field in the visible area, then I can see what I type easily and I know for sure which field I'm in.

On ios; it just covers over your text fields, this is just plain ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE for the end user. To me this is a HUGE, HUGE, MAJOR flaw currently; I can't ship any application with the user never being able to see what they type on iOS.

As I understand it, this has been a major pain for a long time, when it comes to iOS development. I've stumbled across a couple of libraries which tries to mitigate this flaw. E.g. https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager. Could a solution like this be cocoapod'd in?

Maybe, I also saw a couple posts on Xamarian forums that dealt with this; I believe the code code be adapted to NativeScript; but at this point I have plenty of other things going on on my plate and already several pull requests that are still pending that I'm not going to waste the time putting another pull request up that just sits... https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/30336/popup-keyboard-hides-parts-of-the-ui-rather-than-resizing

I'll just add a +1 that this is a major problem. IQKeyBoardManager is available via CocoaPods, so now that {N} supports CocoaPods directly I'm going to add giving this a shot to my list.

I made a plugin and it _seems_ to solve this problem pretty elegantly: https://github.com/tjvantoll/nativescript-IQKeyboardManager. Let me know what you think.

You can also check the IQKeyBoardManager here :https://www.npmjs.com/package/nativescript-iqkeyboardmanager.

Thank you so much @tjvantoll. This is one of the best nativescript-plugins I've used so far.
Works so good. It's beautiful! I loved it!

Don't need setup, just install and built it. It's all done!
Awesome!
