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?

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.
