Ios 8.1 Simulator Always Uses Us Keyboard Layout Despite German Hardware Keyboard

iOS 8.1 Simulator always uses US keyboard layout despite german hardware keyboard

It's iOS 8.1 Simulator's bugs.

I could tested language by setting the "Application Language" in the used scheme.

Go to Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme... or press cmd + Y.

iOS Simulator doesn't use the same layout as OS X

Unfortunately, there is a bug in the current iOS Simulator. You can switch the Keyboard in the Settings, but in Safari & Co, you still get the Englisch QWERTY-Keyboard. This Question has been answered here: iOS8.1 Simulator always uses US keyboard layout despite german hardware keyboard

I'll share it with you as soon as I find a proper solution or Apple fixes this, been watching out for this for a while now...

Changing language on iOS 8.1 simulator does not work

According to the release notes this is a known issue. There is a work around.
If you go to "Edit Scheme..." then the "Options" tab there's an "Application Language" option. This only affects the current run settings, not the app, much like changing the language of the device.

Change iOS simulator keyboard layout to match Macbook keyboard

"iOS Uses Same Layout" is not very accurate as there's no real way to perfectly proxy the layout between the two very different (at this level of the stack) systems. It uses a "best guess" and will tell iOS to switch to the keyboard associated with the language of your host keyboard.

If you toggle between French/Azerty and Dutch/Qwerty, the simulator will tell the hosted runtime "french" and "english". You need to select "Azerty" as your French layout and Qwerty as your Dutch layout from iOS's keyboard preferences (for each device).
