I’ve mentioned a number of libraries for creating input forms most recently XLForm.
You might want to use a full-blown form library and here’s an open source component allowing you to simply create text entry fields with easy masking for numeric, alphanumeric and letter values called OCMaskedTextField from Omer Cora.
Creating Masked text fields with OCMaskedTextField is extremely and this code example from the readme shows how to set up a text field with masking for number entry:
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 94, 280, 33)
andMask:@"TR – #### #### #### #### #### ####"
showMask:YES];
Here’s an image showing several masked text fields from the readme:
You can find OCMaskedTextField on Github here.
A handy library to have if you’re looking to create some masked text/number entry fields.
