How to hide keyboard when return key is hit - Swift

Trying to hide the iOS keyboard when the return key is hit, but instead it halts and gives me the error seen in the image. Here's the code I'm using:

@IBOutlet weak var scoreText: UITextField!

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ scoreText: UITextField) -> Bool {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    return false
}

enter image description here

In swift 4 or 5 , You can use like :

  1. create a project
  2. add UITextField & connect to ViewController
  3. implement UITextFieldDelegate to ViewController
  4. Initialize the UITextField delegate
  5. Add textFieldShouldReturn method in ViewController

  6. Here is full code

    class ViewController: UIViewController,UITextFieldDelegate {

 //Connect to text field
 @IBOutlet weak var scoreText: UITextField!

 override func viewDidLoad() {
   super.viewDidLoad()

    //must initialize delegate
    scoreText.delegate = self
  }

 //add method
 func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    textField.resignFirstResponder()
    return true
 }  

}

Your problem is that you didn't delegate a textField in order to use that method. First, your class must include the UITextFieldDelegate protocol:

class yourClass: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate { ... }

And in the viewDidLoad() method, add this as well:

scoreText.delegate = self

And then you have to change this:

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ scoreText: UITextField) -> Bool {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    return false
}

to this:

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ scoreText: UITextField) -> Bool {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
    return true
}

Final code:

class yourClass: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var scoreText: UITextField!

    override func viewDidLoad(){
        super.viewDidLoad()
        scoreText.delegate = self
    }

    func textFieldShouldReturn(_ scoreText: UITextField) -> Bool {
        self.view.endEditing()
        return true
    }
}

If this is not working, the problem is not the textFieldShouldReturn() function. Please check your outlet connections.

Try this

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    textField.resignFirstResponder()
    return true
}
