try this or remove the tap gesture and add the following method

\

```
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{   [self textFieldResign];} -(void)textFieldResign{  [self.txt_validationCode resignFirstResponder];  [self.view endEditing:YES];  // whatever you want use here }
```
