In your viewcontroller.h add:

@property (nonatomic) UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer;

Now in the .m file, add this to your ViewDidLoad function:

    - (void)viewDidLoad 
{
        [super viewDidLoad];

        //Keyboard stuff
        tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
        tapRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
        [self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
    }*

Also, add this function in the .m file:

- (void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *) sender
{
    [self.view endEditing:YES];
}

UIWindow* keyWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
UIView* firstResponder = [keyWindow performSelector:@selector(firstResponder)];
[firstResponder resignFirstResponder];

I hope This Will Help You.. :)

Unfortunately it look's like even if we try to force close the keyboard using endEditing; that function takes no effect. On my device it doesn't seem like the keyboard can be dismissed.

Below would have been the answer that should have worked: Display the MFMailComposeViewControllerwith a completion and call endEditing: on the MFMailComposeViewController's view.

MFMailComposeViewController *mailVC = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:mailVC animated:YES completion:^{ 
     [mailVC.view endEditing:YES];
}];


UPDATE:

Wouldn't suggest doing this but, here is a hackish way that works:

Objective-C:

MFMailComposeViewController *mailVC = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:mailVC animated:YES completion:^{
      UITextField *a = [[UITextField alloc] init];
      [mailVC.view addSubview:a];
      [a becomeFirstResponder];
      [mailVC.view endEditing:YES];
}];

Swift:

let mailVC = MFMessageComposeViewController()
self.presentViewController(mailVC, animated: true) { () -> Void in
       let a = UITextField()
       mailVC.view.addSubview(a)
       a.becomeFirstResponder()
       mailVC.view.endEditing(true)
}
