I just updated to Xcode 6.1 and my keyboard extension app, which was working fine with 6.0.x, is now not selectable via the nextinputmode button. This works fine on the actual device but not on the simulator. I can add the keyboard in settings with no trouble. Anyone else have this problem.

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.
Before you start typing (when the on-screen keyboard shows up), press just the command key by itself and then release it. This should re-enable the keyboard in the simulator. This answer is visible in a Google search for the problem.
Click on the Run button in the Xcode toolbar. When the application appears in the iOS Simulator, select the text field so that the keyboard appears and then touch the Return key. The keyboard should subsequently disappear from view.
Update: This has been fixed in iOS 8.2 beta 2, according to release notes.
From iOS 8.1 beta release notes:
Known Issue 3rd party keyboards may not appear in Safari, Maps or 3rd party apps on the Simulator.
Workaround: Keyboards should be testable in Calendar, Spotlight, Contacts, and Photos.
This is what you are seeing.
I guess they were so busy fixing other bugs in the developer tools, they just didn't have time to fix ridiculous new bugs they introduced in 8.1.
Open a bug report, and maybe it will be fixed in 8.2.
