Xcode 6: Keyboard does not show up in simulator
I had the same issue. My solution was as follows:
- iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard
- Uncheck "Connect Hardware Keyboard"
Mine was checked because I was using my mac keyboard, but if you make sure it is unchecked the iPhone keyboard will always come up.
While testing in the ios8 beta simulator, you may toggle between the "software keyboard" and "hardware keyboard" with ⌘+K.
UPDATE: Since iOS Simulator 8.0, the shortcut is ⇧+⌘+K.
Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard -> Toggle Software Keyboard should solve this problem.
