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?
To copy and paste from case information displays, right-click on the display and use the options in the resulting local menu. For more information see: how to use key fields, creating new records by pasting data, and the cut/paste example provided in Simulator Tips.
Copy paste from your mac to the ios simulator running when debugging. that is all. now you can copy from the mac os and paste it on the simulator text field by Command V.
Try this: Hold both the Home and Sleep Buttons until you see the Shutdown Slider, Shut down the iPad. Wait a minute or two then turn ON your iPad - it will take a moment to startup. Try to copy and paste something new now.
I was having the same problem.
I turned the Automatic Pasteboard Sync off and on again and it started working.
