The eternal battle between iOS developers and the keyboard rages on, and the keyboard seems poised for victory.

Just Google 'iOS move view for keyboard' and gaze upon the desolation. The top answers don't call convertRect, and the keyboard easily destroys them all unless their view's bottom happens to be directly at the bottom of the screen. Apple's documentation doesn't even mention 'convertRect', and so it too is overrun by the dread keyboard. Many solutions fail miserably under AutoLayout, and are thusly rendered useless.

But hark! A bright light appears suddenly upon the horizon, and MoveViewUpForKeyboardKit rides fiercely upon a white stallion to join the fray!

MoveViewUpForKeyboardKit brutally provides a view that will automatically position itself at the bottom of its superview or the top of the keyboard, whichever is higher. With this ultimate weapon against it, the keyboard knows it cannot prevail. In desperation, the keyboard animates itself with undocumented animation curves, but MoveViewUpForKeyboardKit parrys by matching them perfectly! The keybaord is off balance, and MoveViewUpForKeyboardKit prepares it's coup de grâce. MoveViewUpForKeyboardKit mercilessly handles the case where the keyboard is already visible, and keys fly everywhere as the dread keyboard explodes in a ball of furious hellfire.
