After updating to Xcode 26.4 (public release), I’m no longer able to paste from the Mac clipboard into the Simulator.
Automatically Sync Pasteboard is on, and I have content on the clipboard, but paste doesn’t work—Cmd+V does nothing, and there’s no Paste option in the context menu.
Is anyone else seeing this?
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?
