How I Built an Emoji Picker Library for iOS

<p>The choice of emojis is a common phenomenon in apps because they have become a popular way for users to express themselves digitally. They can be used to add individuality and emotions to text messages or additional meaning to various elements of the application.</p> <p>For example, in my&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/id1500111859" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Timetable</a>&nbsp;app, which is designed for keeping track of a schedule, it was necessary to add the ability to attach an emoji to the schedule title.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:421/1*dHMCQv5EzUVNDumqBnsYag.png" style="height:141px; width:421px" /></p> <p>UI settings for the schedule name</p> <p>It can only be done in a systematic way using&nbsp;<code>UITextField</code>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<code>UITextView</code>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11382753/change-the-ios-keyboard-layout-to-emoji" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">a keyboard type workaround</a>. In my case, this was not suitable and I started looking for other ways. I found several libraries, but they all did not work for me for various reasons.</p> <p><a href="https://betterprogramming.pub/an-emoji-selection-element-aka-emojipicker-for-ios-like-in-macos-e2fa022b80af"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
