Keyboard dismisses on every character typed in text input in Swift

Question

I have one textField.

private var verseTitle: UITextField = {
    let tf = UITextField()
    tf.placeholder = "TITLE"
    tf.font = UIFont(suite16: .tBlackItalic, size: 18)
    tf.textColor = .black.withAlphaComponent(0.5)
    tf.returnKeyType = .done
    tf.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    return tf
}()

In viewDidLoad method, I have assigned self as delegate.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.view.backgroundColor = .white
    verseTitle.delegate = self
}

In viewDidLayout method, I'm using stack view to add textField to the view.

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    
    //Title
    let titleStack = UIStackView()
    titleStack.axis = .horizontal
    titleStack.alignment = .center
    titleStack.distribution = .equalSpacing
    titleStack.spacing = 8
    
    titleStack.addArrangedSubview(verseTitle)
    titleStack.addArrangedSubview(floorView)
    titleStack.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

    view.addSubview(titleStack)

    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
        
        floorView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 13),
        floorView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 13),
        
        
        titleStack.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
        titleStack.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor, constant: 20),
])
}

Now, the problem I'm facing is, that when I start typing in the textField, the keyboard gets dismissed only after I type one letter. I'm not sure why this is happening. I have to tap on the field after entering each letter. For some reason, the focus is taken away from the field after each letter is entered (unless I tap on a suggested autocorrect - the whole string is correctly added to the string at once)

Answer 1

I was able to solve the problem successfully with this bit of code:

items = []
def render(json_data, v=""):
    if isinstance(json_data, dict):
        items.append(f"<ul>")
        for k2, v2 in json_data.items():
            render(k2 ,v2) # <---If we have a dict, apply function again
        items.append(f"</ul>")
    elif isinstance(v, dict):
        items.append(f"<li>{json_data}: <ul>")
        for k2, v2 in v.items():
            render(k2 ,v2) # <---If we have a dict, apply function again
        items.append("</ul></li>")
    elif isinstance(v, list):
        items.append(f"<li>{json_data}:<ul>")
        for i in v:
            if isinstance(i, str):
                items.append(f"<li>{i}</li>")
            elif isinstance(i, dict):
                render(i, v)
        items.append("</ul></li>")
    else:
        items.append(f"<li>{json_data}: {v}</li>")

render(data)
html_str = "".join(items)
html_str
