[img1 respondsToSelector:[principal resignFirstResponder]];

First of all, respondsToSelector returns a BOOL which you use to determine if you can call a selector. This is not a void method, it appears that you have misunderstood that.

Second, UIImageView does not respond to resignFirstResponder.

Third, you are "passing in" void to respondsToSelector:, which I am surprised compiles?

Ultimately what you want to do is call resignFirstResponder on your UITextField which would be achieved by calling [principal resignFirstResponder].

But, one of the easiest ways to dismiss the keyboard is by calling [self.view endEditing:YES] which is described to do ...

Causes the view (or one of its embedded text fields) to resign the first responder status.
