iOS 7 upgrade custom keyboard background issue - ios7

I am using a custom keyboard in my app. This was working really well, but on upgrading to iOS 7 there is a background displayed behind my custom keyboard in the shape of the default keyboard - none of the keyboard keys of the default keyboard are displayed, just a transparent pale box in the shape of the default keyboard. Has anyone else had the same issue or know of a way to resolve this?
The code i am using to hide the default keyboard is:
id keyboardImpl = [objc_getClass("UIKeyboardImpl") sharedInstance];
[keyboardImpl setAlpha:0.0f];

You shouldn't do that to hide a UIKeyboard because it relies on private classes what can change in any OS release without warning

Software keyboard resizes background image on Android app in titanium appcelerator

Whenever the software keyboard appears, it resizes the background image.

Software keyboard resizes background image on Android
This question was for android and i want to implement in Titanium.
Please help.
You can just set the windowSoftInputMode property in your window.
Generally speaking, you can assign to this property any combination of two types of constants: visibility states (ALWAYS_HIDDEN, ALWAYS_VISIBLE, HIDDEN, UNSPECIFIED or VISIBLE) and adjustment options (PAN, RESIZE or UNSPECIFIED).
In your case you can combine SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE and SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN.
Just make few changes in your .tss file:
"#yourWindowID": {
...
windowSoftInputMode: Titanium.UI.Android.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE | Titanium.UI.Android.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN
...
}

Set the keyboardAppearance property of the text field to UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert. This gives a black background.
As of iOS7 you can use UIKeyboardAppearanceDark as well.

Custom keyboard for a textfield without the standard keyboard

I am trying to write an app that uses a custom keyboard. How can I write code that prevents the iPhone keyboard from popping up. I have seen a custom keyboard that enters text in other iPhone applications, so I know that it is possible.
You're looking for the inputView property that's present on every view (inherited from UIResponder).

Try setting the editable mode off:
textView.editable = NO;
You can also achieve this via Interface Builder by unchecking the Behavior Editable box in the Attributes Inspector tab.
