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

I met this problem whenever I rotate the simulator. Following the suggestions to change Hardware options does not work for me, neither reboot iOS Simulator.

I found a trick that click the editing area after rotation makes Mac keyboard end up work.

Answer 2

None of these suggestions worked for me. I closed the iOS Simulator app and restarted it. That fixed it for me.

From Simulator menu >> Hardware >> Keyboard >> Connect Hardware keyboard

OR

just press ⌘ + ⌂ + K

Answer 4

In Xcode 9 I faced the same problem with the iPhone 8+ simulator. I was able to solve it this way:

1. Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphonesimulator.plist file
2. Find the problematic simulator identifier (shown in the Devices and Simulator window)
3. Set CaptureKeyboardInput value to YES
4. Restart the Simulator

Answer 5

Just use CMD+SHIFT+K and the keyboard will activate on it's own.

Answer 6

After doing so many stuffs, just a restart of my machine and enabling the below worked.

Enabling this in simulator: Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard
