I am using Xcode 12.5, and I am trying to paste some text from a file into my ios Simulator (iPhone 11 ios 14.5). This does not work. Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this?
I have looked at a number of other posts but they all seem outdated and don't work for me.
Also I am using an Apple M1 Mac mini ...if that makes a difference. I am also building my application with Xamarin.
The steps I took:
I turn of Automatically Sync Pasteboard
Copy the text (which is just letters from a .txt file)
Click send pasteboard from the edit menu.
Click on my Editor control and select paste
The outcome is that it shows the bubble at the top saying myappName pasted from CoreSimulatorBridge. However, it doesn't actually paste the text.
I answered this elsewhere, but it took so long to find I am repasting a couple places I looked first. Essentially, with Apple M1 Silicon, iOS 14+ pasting doesn't work. Switching to a simulator running 13.7 or earlier fixed it.
it seems it was an issue that Apple fixed in the latest XCode updates, copy/paste works with me on a simulator with IOS 16.2 and XCode 14.2
Now with XCode 14 I'm not being able to build 13.7 or earlier.
I am developing a Hybrid Application using Cordova with MFP.
Recently we upgraded the Xcode version from 9.4.1 to 10.1 after that facing an issue is when key in on input tag then the keyboard is appearing from the bottom and suddenly disappeared but this is working normal below IOS 12 version even build app using Xcode 10.1.
I am using native keyboard instead of Cordova plugin keyboard and UIWebView.
After removing the viewport-fit=cover as mentioned in "https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/417#issuecomment-423326624" the keyboard is appearing from the bottom as normal but the keyboard is overlaid on the input tag so could not see what we are typing in the input.
And also tried with "https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/417#issuecomment-428705830" but not working.
We expecting the result is while key in on input the keyboard should appear from the bottom and need to be disappear once key in finished.
Today in the morning I tried to compile my project to run in my device and I found the destination toolbar disappeared and I cannot choose my IOS device or IOS Simulator device as target. (I can do it in the Product/Destination Menu)
After some research I found the >> at the right on the screen and when I pushed a Scheme option appeared but it is disabled and I can't enable again.
This is what I tried with no success:
Open an old project to see if the problem was in my project
Create a new project (with Swift and Objective C but I don't think this make any difference)
Restart my computer
Hide and show the toolbar (View menu/Hide Toolbar and the View menu/Show Toolbar)
I tried all the previous options with the device connected and disconnected
I have installed the IOS Simulator 8.4 (when I run my project it runs in the last selected simulator) and XCode 6.4.
Looks like Xcode hides that menu when the window is a certain size. I have to make my window quite large before it comes back.
Not a fix as such but you can work around it using the menus: Product > Scheme and Product > Destination
You're probably running into the same issue I am. Like #BrandonWilliams said in his answer, it appears again if the Xcode window is wide enough. The underlying cause, for me at least, seems to be that in this build of Xcode (6.4) running on El Capitan beta 2 (with Xcode 7 beta installed), I am seeing duplicate simulators for iOS 8.4. And since there are two of the same version, the Schemes dropdown shows some sort of long GUID next to each one, causing the Scheme dropdown to be quite large:
I came to SO looking for an answer but realized that I had seen this issue before.
So the problem is basically that auto layout sucks (I mean it is not working properly in Xcode 6) and on El Capitan, the destination toolbar is for some reason hiding instead of collapsing properly. So when your Xcode window is narrow, the destination toolbar disappears.
But, if you expand the window far enough, it shows back up again.
In case you can't tell, in the first screenshot, the window is about 1241 pixels wide and in the second screenshot the window is 1541 pixels wide.
Go to Product then Destination and choose at which simulator or device you want to test your build.
I'm running with same problem. You can select device or change scheme using below steps:
Select Product from menu
Select Scheme or Destination
Select required Scheme option or Destination option
Alternative Solution:
The only solution is to use Xcode 7 or above. I've installed Xcode 7.1 and found Scheme/Simulator list available. Refer screenshot.
It seems that Xcode 6 or below doesn't support OS X El Capitan.
I am still seeing this problem in Xcode 7.2 on iMac with resolution 1920x1080. Resizing the XCode windows dens't help. I can have the menu bar back if I push the green button and go to full screen mode. But that's pretty annoying. This is how I finally figure out a solution that works for me. I notice that only if I open the project file that I have been working daily that the menu bar is missing. If I create a new project, the menu bar is there. And here is my solution:
Remove your project file on disc (or move it to a different folder)
Open the Welcome to Xcode window by shift+command+1
Make sure your project is no longer under this list. If it is still there, click on it and Xcode will tell you the project is not found and it will be removed.
Add the project file back and open it and I have my menu bar back (if you have moved it, simply opening it from a different file location may work I guess)
I guess the problem is that some cache value in Xcode about the project file is messed up somehow. Hope this helps.
I make my XCode screen little big and now find both options.
On XCode 9.0 beta, this worked for me: select View -> Show Toolbar from menu
right click on title bar -> select show toolbar
Fixed it by deleting the following file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist and restarting Xcode.
The downside is that Xcode preferences dropped to defaults obviously.
Whenever I build and run just this one particular app in XCode, the UI window of XCode gets pushed back underneath all existing running windows on OSX ( behind the browser and textedit etc...). This means I can't see the Xcode console debug outputs while playing with the app in the simulator. I feel like this could just be a quick setting in xcode or osx but I'm not sure why and how to fix this.
Use Spaces and develop with Xcode in its own virtual window. You will have just Xcode and Simulator wrestling for screen space then.
I normally have at least 5 windows open in Spaces:
Mail and Skype.
Web Browser
Xcode
Terminal/Finder/Odds and sods
Spare
Use Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right to switch windows.
UITextField suddenly do not take any input from mac keyboard, However I am able to use the virtual keyboard coming up on UIView on iOS7.0 simulator.
Has any one resolved this issue before?
In simulator menu:
Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard
helped me with this problem
I reset the iOSSimulator, its contents and settings and quit and relaunched the iOS-simulator. it worked.
This exactly happened when I updated the code from SVN.
I guess its always a good practice to clean the code, relaunch the simulator when ever updating the source code from SVN especially with Xcode5.
This looks like a bug in the simulator.
Steps to reproduce (and fix)
Open simulator and for example Safari
Start typing along and it will work fine
Use CMD + LEFT or RIGHT arrow to rotate the device to landscape
Try typing using the mac keyboard and it will not work
Press and release the CMD key once and the keyboard is working again
I'll file a bug report with Apple now.
Restart of simulator worked for me.
If your programme unable to take input from mac keyboard then perform the following steps:
Open the simulator
Go to hardware option in Menu
Choose Keyboard> Connect Hardware Keyboard
Shortcut
command+shift+K
