Can’t paste into Simulator after updating to Xcode 26.4

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?

Yep, seeing the same thing. Updated, restarted, played with the Automatically Sync Pasteboard function on and off, no avail. Some of the things I need to paste are enormously long too, so it's really not possible to type by hand. And getting error messages out is almost as bad but at least I can take a screenshot and screen read/OCR whatever text was on that particular page. Pretty bad bug.

Same issue here

Thanks so much for the post.

It's a known issue. Please take a look at the thread https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/820393

I would recommend to keep an eye on that thread.

I can't confirm if this was a bug prior to 26.4 and, years-old posts online suggest de-checking then re-checking the option for it to work.

I can confirm your screenshot and results.

Also, the de- and re- checking workaround did not work.

bad bug. Please fix ASAP
