Custom keyboards live or die on the InputMethodService lifecycle, most bugs come from mis-handling input connections across apps like WhatsApp vs Chrome, not the UI itself. I'll build the Android IME with a themed keyview, native emoji picker backed by the Unicode set, and GIF search via Tenor or Giphy with a shared content provider so pasting works in apps that block rich content. iOS keyboards are a separate extension target, I'll mirror the design there. Past work covers Android and React Native apps. You can see my past work and reviews here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/shayankhan333 1) Tenor or Giphy for GIFs, or your own library? 2) Which languages and layouts should ship first? Cheers Shayan

Hi, You need a custom keyboard for Android and iOS with emojis and GIFs — clean UI, smooth typing, and store-ready builds. I’ve built custom Android IME keyboards before, including a parental keyboard project focused on how children interact with the keyboard (with clear, disclosed behavior — not a hidden logger). I also ship iOS Keyboard Extensions so both platforms stay aligned. Scope: system keyboard install, emoji panel, GIF search/insert (e.g. Giphy/Tenor), light theming, and Play / App Store compliance for keyboard permissions. Price: ₹37,500 Timeline: ~3–4 weeks for Android + iOS MVP. Happy to share a short plan (IME vs iOS extension) once we start. Best regards 3

Your custom keyboard needs to feel as fast and natural as the native keyboard while handling emoji and GIF discovery without lag or awkward switching. I have 9+ years of software development experience, including cross-platform mobile work with React Native and Flutter plus API-driven applications and responsive UI. For this project I’d structure Android and iOS keyboard extensions separately where platform rules require native behavior, while keeping shared services such as GIF search, content configuration, and analytics modular. I can implement emoji categories, GIF search and selection, smooth keyboard switching, caching for performance, permissions handling, and a polished layout across screen sizes. I’ll also account for the stricter limitations Apple places on third-party keyboards so the iOS version behaves reliably rather than copying Android assumptions. Do you want GIFs sourced through GIPHY/Tenor, or do you already have your own GIF API/library?

Hi, do you already have a preferred GIF provider such as Tenor or GIPHY, or should I recommend the best option based on API limits, licensing, search quality, and both Android/iOS requirements? I can develop the custom keyboard natively for Android and iOS, using the appropriate keyboard-extension APIs, with smooth emoji categories, GIF search, previews, recent items, and reliable insertion into supported apps. I’ll focus on fast keyboard performance, clean UI/UX, platform-specific restrictions, privacy, and maintainable architecture rather than building a basic keyboard prototype. I have experience with native mobile development, custom input interfaces, API integrations and media features, and can share relevant past work and technical examples in chat. I’ll deliver tested Android/iOS builds, complete source code and setup documentation. I am available for a quick call to discuss the project further and can also share similar projects I have worked on in the chat. Thanks, Ruchi.

Hi, I understand you need a custom keyboard app for Android & iOS with emoji and GIF support. Here's my approach: ✅ Android: Native InputMethodService keyboard (Kotlin) — full control over key layout, themes, haptics ✅ Emoji panel: Custom grid/picker with search & recent-use tray ✅ GIF integration: Tenor/GIPHY API with search, trending, and favorites ✅ Cross-device sync: Firebase for user preferences/themes ✅ Clean, modern UI/UX — smooth animations, dark/light themes ✅ iOS: Native Custom Keyboard Extension (Swift) — I'll partner with an iOS specialist for this piece to ensure Apple's extension guidelines are met properly Portfolio: I've shipped production apps like NPC Social (live on Play Store) and Drivoo Cab Services (Flutter/Firebase, rider-driver-admin system), showing my full-cycle delivery from architecture to store submission. Quick questions before I scope timeline/budget: Emoji set — custom-designed or standard Unicode/system emojis? GIF source — Tenor, GIPHY, or your own CDN? Any monetization (ads/premium themes) planned? Target: MVP fast-launch or full-featured from day one? Best regards, Vinod

Hello there I can deliver a custom Android and iOS keyboard with emoji and GIF support that feels native on both platforms. I have shipped custom input methods before, so I know the real constraints: IME lifecycle on Android, KeyboardKit/UIInputViewController on iOS, low-latency key press, and App Store/Play policies for third-party keyboards. Approach: • Android: InputMethodService with a compact layout, popup keys, and a dedicated emoji/GIF pane • iOS: Custom keyboard extension plus a containing app for settings • Emoji: categorized picker with recent/favorites and search • GIFs: GIPHY or Tenor, trending + search, preview, then insert as image/link • UI/UX: dark/light themes, haptic feedback, and a clean toolbar so switching between text, emoji, and GIFs is one tap I have built Android/iOS apps with custom keyboards, media insertion, and polished input UI, so implementation, review, and store submission can stay in one place. If this matches what you need, share your target platforms, GIF provider preference, and any must-have layouts. I can start with a short spec and milestone plan. Ihsan
