How this plugin will help?

This plugin is for only Android. We can enforce to use system default keyboard in iOS.

Android:

• We can't enforce Android System to use system keyboard dynamically by doing code level changes in Android app.
• We can only detect whether the user is using third party keyboard or not. Developer can show warning message or blocked screen to the user.
• It will provide functionality to open Android system keyboard manager.

Usage

bool isThirdPartyKeyboardUsing =
          await KeyboardDetectionPlugin.isThirdPartyKeyboardUsing;

Output:

true or false

2. To open Android system keyboard manager

KeyboardDetectionPlugin.openKeyboardChangeManager

iOS

Add below code in AppDelegate.Swift to enforce system to use system default keyboard

func application(application: UIApplication, shouldAllowExtensionPointIdentifier extensionPointIdentifier: String) -> Bool {
    if (extensionPointIdentifier == UIApplication.ExtensionPointIdentifier.keyboard.rawValue) {
        return false
    }

    return true
}
