Formating phone number does not work fine

I am trying to format the User input phone number. I have implemented this:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
var phoneNumberTextField : UITextField?
var docController: UIDocumentInteractionController?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    phoneNumberTextField = UITextField(frame: CGRectMake(10, 150, 100, 50))
    phoneNumberTextField?.backgroundColor = UIColor.brownColor()
    self.view.addSubview(phoneNumberTextField!)


}

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool
{
    if (textField == phoneNumberTextField)
    {
        let newString = (textField.text! as NSString).stringByReplacingCharactersInRange(range, withString: string)
        let components = newString.componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet(NSCharacterSet.decimalDigitCharacterSet().invertedSet)

        let decimalString = components.joinWithSeparator("") as NSString
        let length = decimalString.length
        let hasLeadingOne = length > 0 && decimalString.characterAtIndex(0) == (1 as unichar)

        if length == 0 || (length > 10 && !hasLeadingOne) || length > 11
        {
            let newLength = (textField.text! as NSString).length + (string as NSString).length - range.length as Int

            return (newLength > 10) ? false : true
        }
        var index = 0 as Int
        let formattedString = NSMutableString()

        if hasLeadingOne
        {
            formattedString.appendString("1 ")
            index += 1
        }
        if (length - index) > 3
        {
            let areaCode = decimalString.substringWithRange(NSMakeRange(index, 3))
            formattedString.appendFormat("(%@)", areaCode)
            index += 3
        }
        if length - index > 3
        {
            let prefix = decimalString.substringWithRange(NSMakeRange(index, 3))
            formattedString.appendFormat("%@-", prefix)
            index += 3
        }

        let remainder = decimalString.substringFromIndex(index)
        formattedString.appendString(remainder)
        textField.text = formattedString as String
        return false
    }
    else
    {
        return true
    }
}
}

From Here. When I run the app and I start adding numbers nothing happens. Brackets and hypens do not appear. I want to convert (197)-444-4444 to 1974444444.

What is wrong here?

You dont seems to have set delegate for your textfield:

phoneNumberTextField.delegate = self

And your viewcontroller doesnt seems to conform the UITextFieldDelegate like:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

Also, it would never be nil so just change it to var phoneNumberTextField : UITextField!
