Why does the Keyboard not show when editing UITextField? - ios

I have a ios8 project in XCode 6.1 using size classes. At somepoint in development, the Keyboard stopped displaying while editing a UITextField. To debug, I made simple UIViewController with a single UITextField in a different storyboard in the project, and the keyboard would not display for that UITextField either.
I then made an entirely new project and a simple UIViewController and a single UITextField and the keyboard DID work correctly.
I've looked at all the settings in the project and could find nothing that looks like it affects the keyboard.
Any ideas on what is going on?

If this happen only in the simulator then go to
Hardware Menu->Keyboard->Toggle Software Keyboard
or use shortcut key
cmd+k

Go to simulator -> Hardware then
then click on Toggle Softwate Kwyboard, then you will get key board for TextField

XCode, objective C - Keyboard WILL NOT SHOW

I've taken over the work on an iOS app, I've managed to work quite well with it thus far adding new functionality despite not being a trained iOS developer. However I've hit a patch where I simply cannot get the keyboard to show on screen when I tap on a UITextfield, there are areas of the app where it works but any new areas I add this simply will not work. Is there a standard bit of code that controls showing the keyboard when you tap a text field?
Need help
Keyboard opens up automatically unless you forced to not open.
You can check following, See screenshots.
Enable is checked
User Interaction Enable is checked
If you are checking on simulator try “command + k” from keypad
textFieldShouldBeginEditing delegate returns TRUE
-(BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{
return TRUE;
}
Are you running on a simulator or a real device?

Use existing custom keyboard code xcode

I have only custom keyboard code not full project code. I don't know how to integrate in my app or in new app. In custom keyboard some code is used that is not reachable for custom keyboards. Can any tell me how can i use this code. I know that i can make a new project with custom keyboard templCete but it doesn't work for me
In your current app add new keyboard extension as follows
go to file/New/target/Application Extension/Custom keyboard
give some name for keyboard.
Then in your app file list "KeyboardViewController" class added.
open that KeyboardViewController.m file and just replace that keyboard code which you have.
Before running app in simulator or device first go to device
Setting->General->keyboard->keyboards->add new keyboard
add your custom keyboard there
and run the app.

uppercase label in xcode storyboard not wanted

I'm using xcode 6 with storyboard for ios app development.
I have a problem with UILabel in view controllers in storyboard: the text is simple and inlower case, but when I run the app in the simulator or in the device I see the Label text in UPPERCASE.
Labels have no outlets, and cannot be modified programmatically.
some one has a solution? I'd prefer not using IBOutlet and setting text by code..
I had somewhat similar problem. In my case everything(title, lables, button texts, etc.) was in upper case. I found out that "Localization Debugging" was on, so when I had language on iphone which was not supported by localization, it turned words automatically to upper case. When I disabled it, everything worked fine again.
Just go to "Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme" and there select "Run" and disable "Localization Debugging". (Sorry, I don't have enough reputation to post images, otherwise I would put here screen)
Hope it helps
I answer myself fot other people.
Nothing to do with this strange thing. It seems a xcode bug. Sometimes the labels appears uppercased, other times are ok.
I discover a trick that was using the attributed text in storyboard. in this way it works correctly.
Another way is to use a outlet and setting the uilabel.text by code.

Assign self to UITextFieldDelegate works in iOS 8 not in iOS 7

In the past i have done subclassing of UITableView and UICollectonView many times, in which i have assigned self to the delegate and datasource, and it worked fine.
Today i tried to make subclass of UITextField and in that I am assigning self to its delegate as
self.delegate = self
where delegate is inherited from UITextFiled.
In above case this is hanging the App forever in iOS 7, but works for iOS 8.
Another surprising thing is, when i try to input the text in it from Hardware keyboard then it works fine but it get hanged on typing characters from On-Screen keyboard.
What may be reason of this, Can any one help me to understand?
I was having a similar issue and I figured it out. The simulator will not raise the keyboard by default anymore. If there is a hardware keyboard available and detectable (for example on a MacBook) the simulator will look for input from it and the simulated iPhone keyboard will not raise. This gives the appearance of a problem with the delegate. All you have to do is in the Simulator's Hardware menu, under Keyboard, unselect the option for "Connect Hardware Keyboard". I hope this helps.

keyboard language button in UITextView

Just noticed that in UITextView keyboard comes without change language button, unlike in UITextField. Why Apple removed this button from UITextView keyboard? Is there any way to enable this button? I want people to be able to write notes on any keyboard language added in phone settings.
EDITED: Maybe it will help somebody in the future. Just noticed that I set keyboard type to UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet and this option eliminates language button. Closing this question.
P.S. I have 3 languages enabled in test iPhone.
You are completely wrong. there is no difference in UIKeyboard in iOS whatsoever. It only depends on what keyboard types you use.
UIKeyboardTypeDefault and UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress and UIKeyboardTypeTwitter all have those.
You set it like this:
txtField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeTwitter;
UIKeyboardTypeDefault is obviously the default one for any UITextView or UITextField in iOS.
For anyone have this problem even when using UIKeyboardTypeDefault on a UITextView, go into the storyboard and make sure "Secure Text Entry" is unchecked. After unchecking this, the keyboard selector will return as well as the quick type keyboard.
