This looks like a bug in the simulator.

Steps to reproduce (and fix)

  1. Open simulator and for example Safari
  2. Start typing along and it will work fine
  3. Use CMD + LEFT or RIGHT arrow to rotate the device to landscape
  4. Try typing using the mac keyboard and it will not work
  5. Press and release the CMD key once and the keyboard is working again

I'll file a bug report with Apple now.

I reset the iOSSimulator, its contents and settings and quit and relaunched the iOS-simulator. it worked.

This exactly happened when I updated the code from SVN.

I guess its always a good practice to clean the code, relaunch the simulator when ever updating the source code from SVN especially with Xcode5.
