After update to Xcode 6.1, I lost my custom keyboard in Safari of iOS8.1 simulator. But it's still come in photo app. Photo app can switch to my custom keyboard, but Safari still display English and Emoji, other system keyboard like Arabic also not work. I reset simulator but not work. It's look nothing change in Safari in iOS8.1.I try to clear DerivedData folder but it no help. I remove Xcode and reinstall from Appstore, not work too.
I must test on my device, too strange. Does anyone have same issue? please help how to solve this.

Select the iOS simulator window by click it. Click the simulator menu Hardware —> Keyboard, check the Connect Hardware Keyboard sub-menu, and then uncheck it at once. Now the keyboard will be prompted automatically when you click the text field or text view UI component in the iOS simulator.

I find that Simulator is always in Safari's Develop menu if it's already running when Safari launches, and Simulator is never in the menu if Safari is launched first. That's Simulator 10.0 (comes with Xcode 8.1), Safari 10.0.1 and OS X 10.11.6.
This is a known issue. From the release notes for XCode 6.1.1:
Localization and Keyboard settings, including 3rd party keyboards, are not correctly honored by Safari, Maps, and developer apps in the iOS 8.1 Simulator. [NSLocale currentLocale] returns en_US and only the English and Emoji keyboards are available. (18418630, 18512161)
The suggested work around is to use another app, such as Contacts, for which the keyboard does display correctly in the simulator.
