iOS8 keyboards still make me very uncomfortable. How many of them contain keyloggers?

It's not even if I have one installed, the people I communicate with will be using them too, and they can compromise me.

I'm pretty sure they are sandboxed and can't access the network at all. Actually looks like you can set a flag to access the network.

Not to mention third-party keyboards are not allowed in password fields. I guess that's unfortunate for anyone with non-standard unicode in their passwords, though.

Can users see this flag?

I can't speak for anybody else's apps, iOS or Android, but Glyf sure doesn't have a keylogger included, at the very least...

I didn't mean to suggest that at all, I was commenting on the concept of having executable keyboards outside of the usual application sandbox rather than yours in particular.
