Not able to type in textfield in iphone simulator using Mac Keyboard?

Question

I\'m working on a basic iOS app which supports both portrait and landscape modes. When the iPhone simulator keyboard is open in landscape and I\'m switching the app

Answer 1

For Version 10.0 (SimulatorApp-851.2 CoreSimulator-518.19) with Xcode 9.3, nothing worked for me. I reset the simulator by Hardware -> Erase All Content and Settings -> Erase. Cleaned the project and run on simulator. Keyboard connection is back.

Answer 2

Quit simulator and run following command in terminal:

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphonesimulator.plist

Answer 3

For me doing this worked on iPhone 8+ simulator iOS 11.2: 1. Go to Menu -> Hardware -> Erase all contents and settings. 2. Delete derived data from xcode. Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> Click on right arrow on left side of "Advanced" button.

Answer 4

On the Simulator try to change the device. Then run your app again on the original device. That worked for me.

If the first step alone doesn't work uncheck the option: iOS Uses same keyboard layout as OS X and then change the device.

I figured it out doing random stuff until it worked. Monkey fixing.

Answer 5

I just restart the simulator and It worked for me.

Answer 6

I have just installed a new version of Xcode (5.0) and the keyboard in iOS Simulator didn't work on first launch. Just restarting the Simulator helped.
