Can’t paste into Simulator after updating to Xcode 26.4

same here this is killing me

I can't recall the exact Xcode version but this issue has occurred in the past, but was isolated to older simulator runtimes.

This time it looks like affecting both 26.4 and previous simulators.

One has to wonder how the same feature gets repeatedly fixed and then broken again.

Certainly, thanks for providing this. I assure you that the team is actively working on the bugs submitted to identify the root cause of the issue. I personally appreciate your patience in this matter and your assistance in providing the bug and sysdiagnose.

Same

I’m experiencing the same issue. Any updates on this?

Same problem. Tried going down to 26.1 but the problem persists. Bloody nightmare testing now...

Same here the paste pop doesn't appear while tapping on textfields when there is somthing in the clipboard!

For anybody interested with a workaround - created a script that uses the previously mentioned applescript approach:

As a quick workaround you can send anything to the currently booted simulator using this command in terminal:

echo "your text here" | xcrun simctl pbcopy booted

Any news?

I tried dropping back to Xcode 26.3, but it doesn't work there either. Perhaps the bug was actually introduced with a recent MacOS update?

Facing same issue. Any update on this ?

This is a terrible bug. I’m not surprised at all, though, since Xcode itself has always been a terrible application. Doesn’t Apple have any competent Xcode developers?

Same issue here

Thanks for all the post.

Can you please verify with Xcode 26.5 Beta 2

Resolved Issues Fixed: Pasteboard Synchronization within Simulator.app is currently not functioning.
