iOS 8 keyboard extension only loading on iPhone 5 and 5s

I am currently working on a keyboard extension for iOS 8. Until recently, I was testing the extension exclusively on the iPhone 5 simulator. Upon switching the simulator to the iPhone 6(both simulator and physical phone), 6 Plus, and 4s and clicking on a text field, the keyboard doesn't appear at all. No error is shown either. Thinking that this was a bug in my program, I tested a new program that just had the default code, and the same thing happened. I am using the latest OS X, Xcode, and IOS Simulators.

There is a known issue with 8.1 that causes keyboards to not display in simulator.

Keyboards Known Issue

Additional Keyboards, including 3rd party keyboards, may not appear in Safari, Maps or 3rd party apps on the Simulator.

Workaround: Keyboards should be testable in Calendar, Spotlight, Contacts, and Photos.

I interpret this to mean your enclosing app won't work either. My keyboard won't display in Safari or Maps, but works fine in Photos search bar.

You have to clean the project EVERYTIME you change something in the code of an application linked to an App Extension on Xcode 6.1 (Acknowledged bug in Xcode 6.1 release notes)
