Simulating an app with an TextField control, when I click in the control, the soft keypad appears. If I use the laptop keyboard to enter data, the keypad will no longer appear when I click on the control. To recover the soft keypad, I have to select "Reset Content and Settings". Any explanation would be appreciated.

This seems to be bug in iOS 8. There are two fix to this problem:

Toggle between simulator keyboard and MacBook keyboard using [Command+K] shortcut key.

Reattach keyboard to simulator:

a. Open Simulator

b. Select Hardware -> Keyboard

c. Uncheck and then check 'Connect Hardware Keyboard'

OR simply press [Shift + Command + K] shortcut key

command + k did the trick. Once in the simulator up and running the app, I typed those keys, at least twice, and I could finally see the Keyboard. When I was doing that, up in the menu the Hardware option was highlighting.

In the simulator you can toggle the state of the keyboard with the Hardware menu, scroll down to the keyboard menu.
