I've tried calling:
self.becomeFirstResponder()
self.messageInputBar.becomeFirstResponder()
self.messageInputBar.inputTextView.becomeFirstResponder()

From viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, and viewDidAppear and I still can't get the keyboard to open automatically for my view controller. For normal text views, calling becomeFirstResponder() should automatically focus them and present the keyboard. What gives? Is there a workaround?

   Is the MessageInputBar visible? It's an input accessory view so the view controller needs to be the first responder to have the bar be presented

   Yes the bar is visible. I overrode input accessory view and returned the bar, and overrode can become first responder and returned true. Once the controller is presented I can tap on the text view to activate it, but I can’t automatically focus it.

   You can call messageInputBar.inputTextView.becomeFirstResponder() from viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool).

   hello

   what if bar is visible, I can type in it, but when send is pressed nothing happens

   extension ViewController: MessageInputBarDelegate {
   func messageInputBar(
   _ inputBar: MessageInputBar,
   didPressSendButtonWith text: String) {
   print("ldldldld")
   let newMessage = Message(
   member: member,
   text: text,
   messageId: UUID().uuidString)

       messages.append(newMessage)
       inputBar.inputTextView.text = ""
       messagesCollectionView.reloadData()
       messagesCollectionView.scrollToBottom(animated: true)
   }
   

   }

   Seems like this does the trick on latest:

   override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
       super.viewDidAppear(animated)
       self.becomeFirstResponder()
       self.messageInputBar.inputTextView.becomeFirstResponder()
   }
