Missing keyboard on iOS8 simulator?

Question

I'm checking my app against iOS8 in the simulator and one thing that puzzles me is that when I tap on a UITextField or UITextView the keyboard doesn't appear on the screen! I can still enter text with my hardware keyboard. Also, if the input element has a inputAccessoryView, that view is shown on the bottom of the screen. So everything works as expected except that the keyboard is not appearing on the screen. This is valid for all input elements throughout the app. I don't use the new feature for custom keyboard.

Checked the Settings - don't see anything that can help.

I know XCode6 is still a beta but this seems too obvious problem to be a bug (or is it!?)

Answer 1

In the iOS Simulator menu select:

Hardware > Keyboard > Toggle Software Keyboard

or press Cmd + K.

The Connect Hardware Keyboard option in the same menu has to be enabled.
