Clipboard issues with simulators

Same issue here

I have to downgrade to 26.2 for copy paste to work again in the simulator. Infuriating bug. Impossible to type generated passwords by hand into the simulator.

Please add this to test cases, it should never slip into release. It ruins my day :(

If there any workaround, please let me know.

workaround until apple fixes it:

alias simpaste='pbpaste | xcrun simctl pbcopy booted'

then run simpaste in terminal before pasting in the sim, this has been working for me (so far)

Made a little macOS menu bar app that fixes this for me. It syncs the clipboard both ways between macOS and the Simulator automatically.

full Xcode project available here: https://github.com/iAmrMohamed/SimClipboardSync

Same issue. It's imposible for me work without paste, I need paste several emails, passwords..

Xcode 26.5 Beta was just released https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode can you please check if the issue was resolved there?

Using Xcode 26.5 Beta with iOS Simulator 26.5 Beta (iPhone 17 Pro), I tried to copy and paste text to the simulator. The paste menu now appears, but cannot paste the text.

When pasting the text to the UITextField in my application while debugging, Xcode shows the following error

...requesting item failed with error: Error Domain=PBErrorDomain Code=13 "Operation not authorized." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Operation not authorized.}

For me, the issue is NOT resolved in Xcode 26.5 beta. I downloaded it and created a 26.5 simulator, but I can NOT paste into it from macOS 26.4 host.

@Jaanus Thanks for providing this. Do you have a FB open? Would you be able to upload the sysdiagnose as you said you have a macOS 26.4 with Xcode 26.5 and running a 26.5 simulator? Thanks for this!!
