UITextField Keyboard Not Displaying

I have a very simple screen with a UITextField with a default setting, nothing special.

When I touch UITextField, the keyboard does not appear.

I have no user control, behavior, or anything else, just that, but it doesn't work.

I did this in previous iPhone / iPad apps already on the AppStore, but I can’t understand what is going on here.

A UITextField is created in Interface Builder in the nib file.
I did some research and I added IBAction to the UIViewController for the UItextField TouchDown event and IBOutlet for the UITexField.
In the first line of code, I added:

[textFild becomeFirstResponder];

This is the default behavior of UITextField, when you touch it, it becomes the first responder asking the system to display the keyboard.
I debugged it and it ran this line, but the keyboard is still not showing.
Thanks in advance.

I already understood myself! I had a UITextField in a UIViewController that displays from another view controller that responds to motion events, and that the previous view controller was always the first responder. All I had to do was each time I leave the controller view in viewWillDisappear: (BOOL) animated, I call [self resignFirstResponder]; and it's all.

One thing you should check is to make sure that the content view ( UIView containing all the controls), which is the View icon in the Interface application, has User Interaction Enabled . If the parent container does not check this box, even if individual controls are running, you will see this behavior.

Many times your code is right, it's just the settings of your Xcode or Simulator.

Try switching keyboard software in simulator

Simulator --> Hardware --> Keyboard --> Toggle Software Keyboard

OR just hit Command + K , it will do the same
