Can you send screenshot or video otherwise it is hard for me to guess what is wrong here

Same issue here, I tried adding some sleeps before accessing keyboard, but it seems that it still crashing:

{ "value" : "Error Domain=com.facebook.WebDriverAgent Code=1 \"Keyboard is not present\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Keyboard is not present}", "sessionId" : "90260BF2-7B94-4B28-BBA1-47EE7FC2BB95", "status" : 13}

I added sleeps and it doesn't works. Need reproduce with other app ( can't use my company app due policy).
@VasilijSviridov could you record your app?

[VasilijSviridov]

same here, can't record, but I can tell you that when it crashes the keyboard appears and disappears in about 0.3 seconds =) and this happens only 1 in 4 runs :/

[lucasdaniele1]

ok so it looks other issue, in my case the keyboard is there.

[VasilijSviridov]

well I am on real devices, where you are using simulator, also try to downgrade WDA to February version, suppose it should work.

[marekcirkos]

Can you create failing test case in our testing app?

[marekcirkos]

Or give some screenshots

[marekcirkos]

ping

[lucasdaniele1]

Could you give me the link to the testing APP?

I am also experiencing this issue. The cursor does not move from one field to the next.

return driver
     .waitForElementById('username')
     .clear()
     .sendKeys('username') //works up to here
     .waitForElementById('password')
     .clear() //this clears the username!

Execute this in a bash script before your test: defaults write com.apple.iphonesimulator ConnectHardwareKeyboard -bool no. Turn off hardware keyboard as it seems to cause failures occasionally

This issue still exists in Appium version 1.13.0. Is there any definite solution to this issue?

I am facing this same issue. Soft Keyboard is Not Displayed in iOS

[VasilijSviridov]

I think you first have to click on the input and only then sendKeys , let's hope this helps, also this solution not always works for simulators, only real devices.
