UITextField in iOS7 simulator does not accept any Mac keyboard input

Question

UITextField suddenly does not accept any Mac keyboard input, however I can use the virtual keyboard that appears on UIView on the iOS7.0 simulator.

Has anyone resolved this issue before?

Answer 1

I reset iOSSimulator , its contents and settings, and close and restart iOS-simulator. .

This happened when I updated the code from SVN .

I think its always good practice to clear the code, restarting the simulator when updating the source code from SVN, especially with Xcode5 .

Answer 2

In the simulator menu:

Hardware → Keyboard → Connect hardware keyboard

helped me with this problem

Answer 3

This seems like a bug in the simulator.

Steps to reproduce (and correct)

• Open a simulator and, for example, Safari
• Start typing and it will work fine
• Use the CMD + LEFT or RIGHT arrow to rotate the device to landscape.
• Try typing with your Mac keyboard and it won’t work.
• Press and release the CMD key once, and the keyboard will work again.

Now I will write a bug report with Apple.

Answer 4

For me, restarting the simulator worked.

Answer 5

If your program cannot enter Mac keyboard input, follow these steps:

• Open the simulator

• Go to the hardware option in the menu

• Choose Keyboard> Connect Hardware Keyboard.
