Help/Support Anyway to grant 3rd party keyboards system acces?

Third party keyboard don't work eveywhere because of some restrictions from Apple. Is there anyway to bypass these restrictions through some cydia tweeks?

Stole this from How to geek.

To enable a new keyboard after installing it, you’ll need to head into Settings after installing it. Navigate to Settings > General > Keyboards > Keyboards. Tap Add a New Keyboard and select the keyboard you just installed.

You can enable multiple third-party keyboards here so you can easily switch between them later.

Give a Keyboard Internet Access

To give a keyboard full Internet access — for example, allowing SwiftKey to synchronize your typing profile across all your devices — tap the name of the keyboard you added on the Keyboards screen and enable “Allow Full Access.”

Apple notes that this could be a security issue, as the keyboard could potentially transmit private data you type — such as your password or credit card information. Keyboards don’t have Internet access by default for this reason, and you don’t have to enable Internet access to use any keyboard. Some keyboard features — like SwiftKey’s syncing — may only be available with Internet access.

Switch to a Third-Party Keyboard

Once you’ve enabled a keyboard on the Settings screen, it will be available to use. Bring up the keyboard in any app and tap the globe icon in the bottom-left corner of the keyboard to cycle between available keyboards.

You can also long-press the globe icon to see a list of available keyboards — the same list you configured on the Keyboard Settings screen. Tap the name of a keyboard to switch to it.

Use the keyboard normally and, when you want to switch back, tap the globe icon again. Apple requires that all third-party keyboards include a button that switches to the next keyboard, but it will look a bit different on each keyboard.

Configure a Keyboard

Each keyboard will also install its own app icon on your home screen. You can open the app to view settings and configure the keyboard. The apps will often contain information about using the keyboard, too. To uninstall a keyboard, remove the app like you normally would — long-press the app icon on your home screen and tap the X that appears.

That’s basically it — this process will be the same no matter what third-party keyboards you install in the future. The ability to enable multiple third-party keyboards and cycle between them with a single tap is convenient — it allows you to install more specialized keyboards and quickly switch between them without opening any menus.

@Ky1e I've already done all of the above, all those steps are included in the swiftkey setup. Apps like Facebook messenger (the app I use the keyboard most for) doesn't accept 3rd party keyboards and it will automatically switch you back to the apple one.

I was wondering if there's any jailbreak tweak for this issue.

In Settings -> General -> Keyboards -> Arrange the keyboards as you wish and if you just want to use one keyboard everywhere. Remove the others.
