Xcode iOS 8 Keyboard types not supported

Question

I have a UITextField Ctrl-dragged as an @Outlet in my .swift class. Now in viewDidLoad i'm using this code

self.myTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.DecimalPad

When i launch my app on simulator and click on the UITextField i got this log

    Can't find keyplane that supports type 8 for keyboard 
    iPhone-Portrait-DecimalPad; 
    using 2617181025_Portrait_iPhone-Simple-Pad_Default

I have no crash or something but the keyboard is not displayed. I also tried to set it from Storyboard but it's the same.

I also noticed that whenever i click on any UITextField the keyboard is never displayed (but no log is shown for the default keyboard)

I'm using Xcode-Beta 3 anyone faced this issue?

Solution 1

I too had this problem after updating to the latest Xcode Beta. The settings on the simulator are refreshed, so the laptop (external) keyboard was being detected. If you simply press:

 iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard

then the software keyboard will be displayed once again.

Solution 2

Go to iOS Simulator-> Hardware-> Keyboard -> Uncheck the Connect Hardware Keyboard Option. This will fix the issue.

Solution 3

This message comes when the keyboard type is set to numberPad or DecimalPad. But the code works just fine. Looks like its a bug with the new Xcode.

Solution 4

If you're getting this bug with Xcode Beta, it's a beta bug and can be ignored (as far as I've been told). If you can build and run on a release build of Xcode without this error, then it is not your app that has the problem.

Not 100% on this, but see if this fixes the problem:

iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Toggle Software Keyboard.

Then, everything works

Solution 5

I have fixed this issue by unchecking 'Connect Hardware Keyboard'. Please refer to the image below to fix this issue

Hey your solutions is not working, BUT i tried to uncheck the iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard , now the keyboard is shown even thought i am not able to type from my mac keyboard and the warning is still present in the logs

Sorry I've taken so long to reply, I've been trying to debug my own app. Whats happening is your textfields are telling your keyboard the text is a negative size. You need to either change the text size to a .xxx or resize your textfield bigger.

But I simply crtl-dragged the UITextField from the panel to my storyboard, nothing else. Is it a bug of Xcode-Beta 3?

[Erik Bean]

Try replacing the text box with a new one. I had this same problem which is how I found yours. It was caused by my text box being smaller then default. It IS possible though. Check the developer forums!

[r4id4]

Yes I posted the same method in a comment of another post, in this way the keyboard is shown but the warning log still stays.

[Bidstrup]

I have same issue.. it works if you set the Keyboard Type to default. Not the decimal or Number pad.. very strange

[pkamb]

If you uncheck this, though, it appears that you can no longer type using your Mac's keyboard?

[Erik Bean]

It seams this is mostly a beta bug, as if you run this on a non beta version it doesn't have the issue. It can easily be ignored as long as it does not affect usability.

selecting iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Toggle Software Keyboard enabled Mac's Keyboard

[JLundell]

I'm seeing it on a physical device (iPhone 5) running the Xcode 6 & iOS GM.

[Daniel Wood]

I am also getting this on an iPhone 6 with the latest Xcode from the App Store.

[Tiago Lira]

As someone said in another thread, you can now use cmd+K to switch between the simulator and mac keyboards.

[ArdenDev]

The keyboard shows but the warning is still there even with the official version of xcode

[DShah]

Still exist in Xcode 6.1. I am running in iPhone 5 device

[shim]

For me, in 6.1 I have Connect Hardware Keyboard unchecked, and the decimal pad displays fine, but I get this error message every time a text field becomes first responder.

[Danyal Aytekin]

Happens even when this is unchecked.

[shreddish]

any fix for this?? getting it on phone5s running Xcode 6.4

[Nuno Gonçalves]

I'm having this problem, and even with sizeToFit I get the same warning.

[Loebre]

Xcode 7.1 - the same , it doesn't look like they are going to do anything about it.

[iCaramba]

Xcode 7.1.1 the same, do we add a comment every version? :D

[AmitaiB]

I'd need to see your code to see if I have any insight, since this error can be caused by any number of things going wrong. [Sorta like entropy, or Tolstoy's bon mot about dysfunctional home life: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”] Can you post it?

[DarkLeafyGreen]

Still same problem :D

XCode 7.3 iPhone 6 iOS 9.3, still there

[Nitesh Borad]

XCode 8.0 iPhone 4s iOS 8.4.1 and it's still there.

[Tj3n]

what about physical device???? it's not simulator and all answer are for simulator

[Siddharth]

The key board is visible, but I am unable to type using my mac keyboard.. have to use the mouse.. just to crazy

Xcode 10.2.1 with iOS 12 (emulator) and the message is logged when I click on a "Decimal Pad" InputField (doesn't happen with a "Default" one). Checking "Connect Hardware Keyboard" simply disabled my hardware keyboard for InputFields (had to click it again to bring it back) but it didn't get rid of the message.

Still true to this day. "Looks like its a bug with the new Xcode."
