UIKeyboard not appearing when tapping on UITextField

Following will fix the keyboard issue

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

Try this:

Goto:

iOS Simulator -> Hardware -> Keyboard 

And Uncheck

'Connect Hardware Keyboard'

Or simply do: ⇧ shift + ⌘ Command + K

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

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

Xcode 6: Keyboard does not show up in simulator

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.

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