in my knowledge is not possible, in extension you can't detect the type or anything, but your question is fine, — Anbu.Karthik, Apr 15 '15 at 06:10

You can try this code in your UIInputViewController

override public func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    if let parentViewController = self.parentViewController {
        var hostBundleID = parentViewController.valueForKey("_hostBundleID")
        println(hostBundleID)
    }
}

But I'm not sure that Apple will approved when you release to App Store

Where's `_hostBundleID` officially documented? – Pang Feb 07 '18 at 04:46
