Disable editing of a text field

There is one more way of avoiding keyboard appearing

You can set an UITapGestureRecognizer like this:

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.textFieldEditing))
self.enterSport.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

and

@objc func textFieldEditing() {
    self.enterSport.resignFirstResponder()
    
}

With Swift 3 Apple changed the property userInteractionEnabled to isUserInteractionEnabled.

The code looks like this:

textfield.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

enterSport.userInteractionEnabled = false instead of editing.

editing is a read-only property to indicate if the field is currently being edited or not.

Swift 5: enterSport.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

To summarize the answers and comments above:

editing is a readonly property. You can't set it.

If it's a UITextView, it has an editable property which you can set to false.

If it's a UITextField, you need to use the enabled property or the userInteractionEnabled property. Either of those will prevent editing. As
