Re: (area used by) Keyboard in iOS 15.x
Hi Mark This is really useful to know. Thanks for all your testing and research. Just a note about what iPhoneSafeAreaInsets is for. It returns the number of pixels from the top (the second item, 47 in your case) to allow for the top notch and from the bottom (4th item, 34) to allow for the onscreen app switcher bar at the bottom of the screen. This is in portrait mode. This changes to be the 1st and 4th items (47,0,0,34) or 3rd and 4th (0,0,47,34) in landscape mode because the notch will be on the left or right but the app switcher remains at the bottom. If the phone is upside down and your app allows for this the you could have the notch at the bottom which will make it something like 0,0,0,81.

Re: tmAlign is now available on gitHub
Hi Mike, any chance you could do a talk at the upcoming LC virtual conference on tmAlign, tmControl and whatever else is in the tool bag?
