[Interest] Qt on iOS-9 - How to Disable Shortcuts Bar on Apple's Keyboard

[Robert Iakobashvili]

For the case that somebody needs it:

1. Disable predictive input in the window/text-field;

2. Pass the view/window/text-field as Wid (widget->winId()) to the
function below
   and disable two vectors/groups of UITextInputAssistantItem-s

void disable_iOS9_keyboard_shortcut_bar(void* window)
{
    if (!window)
        return;

    if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"9.0")) {
        UIView* view = (UIView*)window;

        // You can also iterate thru subviews if required.

        if ([view respondsToSelector:@selector(inputAssistantItem)]) {
            UITextInputAssistantItem *inputAssistantItem = [view
inputAssistantItem];

            inputAssistantItem.leadingBarButtonGroups = @[];
            inputAssistantItem.trailingBarButtonGroups = @[];

        }
    }
}

I hope this will help to somebody.
Regards,
Robert
