you should put this height constraint into viewWillAppear 

 CGFloat _expandedHeight = 500;  
 NSLayoutConstraint *_heightConstraint = 

 [NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem: self.view 
                                attribute: NSLayoutAttributeHeight 
                               relatedBy: NSLayoutRelationEqual 
                                  toItem: nil 
                               attribute: NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute 
                               multiplier: 0.0 
                                  constant: _expandedHeight];
[self.view addConstraint: _heightConstraint];

NOTE

In iOS 8.0, you can adjust a custom keyboard’s height any time after its primary view initially draws on screen.

Adding a custom view over custom keyboard can be done in the same way you do it in your app. For increasing the height of custom keyboard more than 216, you need to add a height constraint to your inputView in KeyboardViewController. It can be done in the following way:

let constraintForHeight:NSLayoutConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: self.inputView, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.Height, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.Equal, toItem: nil, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.NotAnAttribute, multiplier: 0, constant: height)
constraintForHeight.priority = UILayoutPriorityDefaultHigh

self.inputView.addConstraint(constraintForHeight)

Feel free to suggest edits to make this better. Please let me know if there is any problem with implementation
