I'm trying to use Memoji Stickers on my app, but neither UITextField or TextField from SwiftUI displays them on the keyboard. How can I make them show up, and how do I retrieve them afterwards?
I tried different text input traits, but had no success. I even tried using the Twitter keyboard option, because the stickers work in the Twitter app, but it was to no avail.
So... how you can get it is to implement the paste method on the view controller where your textfield/view is.
Then you can grab the image from the pasteboard. Basically
Objective-C
UIImage *image = [[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard] image];
or Swift
let image = UIPasteboard.general.image
Which will let you find the UIImage then you can wrap it in
Objective-c NSAttributedString *memojiStrong = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithAttributedString: image];
Swift
let memojiString = NSAttributedString(attachment: image)
This will let you add it as a string to whatever you need to add it to. You can find a little more for the image -> String if you want to save it for an image: https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/system/how-to-insert-images-into-an-attributed-string-with-nstextattachment
