You can create a subclass like ArabicTextField of UITextField and use textInputMode property to change your keyboard as below

class ArabicTextField: UITextField {
    override var textInputMode: UITextInputMode? {
        UITextInputMode.activeInputModes.filter
        { $0.primaryLanguage == "ar" }.first ?? super.textInputMode } 
}
