Neither keyboard nor cursor are appearing when a UITextField is tapped

Question

I am testing out a simple application on Xcode 5.0.2. Using storyboard, I've dragged two view controllers that are connected by segues. On first view controller there is a button, after pressing that button next controller shows up which has two textfields. When I tap the textfield, the keyboard is not showing up and the text cursor is missing.

textFieldViewController.h file

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *nameField;

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *numberField;

- (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender;


- (IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender;

textFieldViewController.m file

 - (IBAction)textFieldDoneEditing:(id)sender {
    [sender resignFirstResponder];
}

- (IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender {
    [self.nameField resignFirstResponder];
    [self.numberField resignFirstResponder];
}

Answer 1

This can also happen with Xcode 6/iOS 8 because of simulator settings:

Xcode 6: Keyboard does not show up in simulator

Answer 2

Make sure that your UserInteraction of UITextfield is Enabled and you didnot have any view on your Textfield.
