iPhone Custom keyboard does not load on physical device running iOS 8

Question

I've successfully written a custom keyboard for iOS with swift and it loads perfectly on all iOS simulators (iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6Plus). but when I try to test my keyboard on physical device, keyboard won't load. :|

I'm using Xcode 6.0.1 and my iPhone runs iOS 8 (not beta version) and I've added my keyboard in Keyboard section in setting.

It's weird that keyboards load perfectly on simulator, but not actual device.

Is there anything that I am missing?

Answer 1

I figured it out, to test your keyboard on physical device, you have to change the value of the RequestsOpenAccess Boolean key in the Info.plist file to YES.

and by Info.plist I mean Info.plist for your keyboard extension not containing app.

Then after running application on physical device yo have to grant access to keyboard in keyboard section of general and voila. :)

Answer 2

Some mistakes I made that caused my keyboard extension to stop loading.

First, I created an app profile that had entitlements that didn't match the project. I ended up just deleting the profile and building with automatic settings since I'm pretty far from testing/submitting.

I also had changed the name of the entry UITextViewController and the extensions storyboard without updating them in the NSExtension principle class in it's info.plist.
