UIKeyboard not appearing when tapping on UITextField

Question

I had been into a weird problem, As every other thing is working fine. All of sudden when I compile my application and got this problem, when I tapped on the UITextField white space is popping up, but the keyboard is not visible and I am not able to enter anything.

Solution 1

Following will fix the keyboard issue

Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Toggle Software Keyboard should solve this problem.

Solution 2

Try this:

Goto:

iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard 

And Uncheck

'Connect Hardware Keyboard'

Or simply do: ⇧ shift + ⌘ Command + K

Keep Coding......... :)

Solution 3

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

Xcode 6: Keyboard does not show up in simulator

Solution 4

I've got the same problem but only on 5s simulator. And, I tried to go to simulator->reset content and settings. That actually solved the problem.

Solution 5

Also make sure you aren't messing with yourTextField.inputView

I'm glad to have found this suggestion but I'm not thrilled that I spent my night on this problem.

I tried "Toggle Software Keyboard" and the keyboard appeared for me.

Ugh. Must have caught command shift k by accident and spent an hour trying to figure out why my keyboard wasn't appearing! Thanks.

Note that it works only at the runtime moment when the keyboard is supposed to appear.
