ios - Display virtual keyboard with barcode scanner attached -


we have written enterprise app wholesaler client. app directs warehouse staff different locations in warehouse, telling them products pick.

the app allows picker double check picking correct product entering barcode of product have picked up. client has purchased usb barcode scanner allows them scan directly app. scanning of barcode , validation works fine. problem comes when picker needs enter number of units have picked up. can't because virtual keyboard has been hidden.

the virtual keyboard hidden because (i assume) ios thinks barcode scanner hardware keyboard. there way force virtual keyboard remain on screen?

i have searched, various solutions either not work ios8, or use private apis (which i've not attempted implement, pretty ropey).

if not solve-able programatically, happy advise client use different scanner (i have seen seem have button press bring virtual keyboard, etc). if happen know of scanner this, please advise!

i realise use camera on device, don't think client go device attached forklift , wouldn't practical pick , scan time.

tl;dr: i'm trying force virtual keyboard stay on screen because hidden when barcode scanner attached.
