I'm working on a basic iOS app which supports both portrait and landscape modes. When the iPhone simulator keyboard is open in landscape and I'm switching the app to portrait mode I'm unable to type anything in any text field using my Mac physical keyboard.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is it a known bug?

Found a great solution that worked for me.
Open simulator, then find menu Hardware -> Keyboard has three options:

  1. iOS uses same layout as OS X : This option disables the Mac keyboard
  2. Connect Hardware Keyboard : This option enables Mac keyboard but the keyboard will not show up.
  3. Toggle Software keyboard : This option will allow you type using your Mac keypad and will show the iOS on screen keyboard as well.
