Can't find keyplane that supports type 4 for keyboard iPhone-Portrait-NumberPad; using 3876877096_Portrait_iPhone-Simple-Pad_Default

Question

I too had this problem after updating to the latest Xcode Beta. The settings on the simulator are refreshed, so the laptop (external) keyboard was being detected. If you simply press:

iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard

so that the entry is UNchecked then the software keyboard will be displayed once again.

The emulator tries to find a numeric keypad on the mac, but this is not found (MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and "normal/small" keyboard do not have it). You can deselect the option Connect Hardware Keyboard or just ignore the error message, it will have no negative effect on application.

Just Go to

iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Uncheck the Connect Hardware Keyboard Option.

This will fix the issue.

Your MAC keyboard will not work after performing the above step, You have to use simulator keyboard.

I am using xcode with ios 8 just uncheck the connect harware keyboard option in your Simulator-> Hardware-> Keyboard-> Connect Hardware Keyboard.

This will solve the issue.

I also had this problem and found the solution.

Below is the code which will work for iOS 8.0 and also for below versions.

I have tested it on iOS 7 and 8.0 (Xcode Version 6.0.1)

- (void)addButtonToKeyboard
    {
    // create custom button
    self.doneButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
            //This code will work on iOS 8.3 and 8.4. 
       if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.3) {
            self.doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, [[UIScreen mainScreen]   bounds].size.height - 53, 106, 53);
      } else {
           self.doneButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 163+44, 106, 53);
      }

    self.doneButton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = NO;
    [self.doneButton setTag:67123];
    [self.doneButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"doneup1.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [self.doneButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"donedown1.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

    [self.doneButton addTarget:self action:@selector(doneButton:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    // locate keyboard view
    int windowCount = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] count];
    if (windowCount < 2) {
        return;
    }

    UIWindow *tempWindow = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:1];
    UIView *keyboard;

    for (int i = 0; i < [tempWindow.subviews count]; i++) {
        keyboard = [tempWindow.subviews objectAtIndex:i];
             // keyboard found, add the button
          if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.3) {

            UIButton *searchbtn = (UIButton *)[keyboard viewWithTag:67123];
            if (searchbtn == nil)
                [keyboard addSubview:self.doneButton];

            } else {   
                if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIPeripheralHost"] == YES) {
              UIButton *searchbtn = (UIButton *)[keyboard viewWithTag:67123];
                   if (searchbtn == nil)//to avoid adding again and again as per my requirement (previous and next button on keyboard)
                [keyboard addSubview:self.doneButton];

        } //This code will work on iOS 8.0
        else if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIInputSetContainerView"] == YES) {

            for (int i = 0; i < [keyboard.subviews count]; i++)
            {
                UIView *hostkeyboard = [keyboard.subviews objectAtIndex:i];

                if([[hostkeyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIInputSetHost"] == YES) {
                    UIButton *donebtn = (UIButton *)[hostkeyboard viewWithTag:67123];
                    if (donebtn == nil)//to avoid adding again and again as per my requirement (previous and next button on keyboard)
                        [hostkeyboard addSubview:self.doneButton];
                }
            }
        }
      }
    }
 }

- (void)removedSearchButtonFromKeypad 
    {

        return;
    }

    UIWindow *tempWindow = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] objectAtIndex:1];

                [self removeButton:keyboard];                  
            } else if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIPeripheralHost"] == YES) {

             } else if([[keyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIInputSetContainerView"] == YES){

            for (int i = 0 ; i < [keyboard.subviews count] ; i++)
            {

                if([[hostkeyboard description] hasPrefix:@"<UIInputSetHost"] == YES) {
                    [self removeButton:hostkeyboard];
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


- (void)removeButton:(UIView *)keypadView 
    {
    UIButton *donebtn = (UIButton *)[keypadView viewWithTag:67123];
    if(donebtn) {
        [donebtn removeFromSuperview];
        donebtn = nil;
    }
}

Hope this helps.

But , I still getting this warning:

Can't find keyplane that supports type 4 for keyboard iPhone-Portrait-NumberPad; using 3876877096_Portrait_iPhone-Simple-Pad_Default

Ignoring this warning, I got it working. Please, let me know if you able to get relief from this warning.
