Xcode simulator - copy/paste issue

I've been having this issue for quite sometime now. Basically, when I cannot copy something from my web browser or a file and paste it into the simulator (ie in an UITextField for example). I read multiple questions here, I tried the suggested answers, but nothing works really.

When I copy something from my web browser for example, I have Automatically Sync Pasteboard activated in my simulator and yet, cmd + V doesn't paste it. Even though I've copied the data, I have no edit > paste menu activated in my simulator. Even if I disable Automatically Sync Pasteboard, I dont get the edit > paste menu. I'm testing this on iPhone 8 simulator.

Is there a way to fix this?

I was having the same problem.

I turned the Automatic Pasteboard Sync off and on again and it started working.
