I am trying to position cursor after label subview in a UITextView

What I want is:

• User types in TextView
• TableView is displayed with content filtered by text in TextView
• User select a cell in TableView
• I create a label with the cell content and add as subview to TextView
• I reset the textView.text = empty

• User types again in TextView and above steps repeat.

• The behavior is implemented by iMessage when we try to select contacts.
