What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
An Objective-C iOS library providing a multi-line UITextView that grows and shrinks with typed text, scrolling once a set line limit is reached, mimicking Apple's SMS-app input. It exposes configurable min/max line or height properties, height-change animation, and delegate callbacks.
Use cases
- auto-growing text input for an iOS chat app
- UITextView that expands with text like the Messages app
- multi-line input field with max line limit before scrolling
- animated height-changing composer view in iOS
- SMS-style message input box in Objective-C
When to choose
- building a legacy Objective-C iOS app needing an SMS-like growing text view
- you want a simple drop-in UITextView subclass with line limits and animation
When to avoid
- starting a new Swift project - the repo is unmaintained and modern alternatives exist
- you need SwiftUI or active support for recent iOS versions
