Can't toggle software keyboard in iOS Simulator 10.2 or 10.3

enter image description here

I am using ios simulator 10.3 and noticed that I can't toggle software keyboard anymore, and can't type anything. I downgraded to ios simulator 10.2 but the same problem persists.

I was able to make it work by deleting com.apple.iphonesimulator.plist in ~/Library/Preference but the problem again pops up when I restart my simulator. Can anyone help me to fix this issue or tell me when or why this Toggle Software Keyboard option is disabled ?

For me cmd + k was not opening the keyboard in the iPhone 8 plus emulator. But when I used the same short key for the iPhone 12 Pro Max emulator the soft keyboard was opening.

This should put it back (write this in terminal):

defaults write com.apple.iphonesimulator ConnectHardwareKeyboard -bool YES

Toggle Software Keyboard is only available if Connect Hardware Keyboard is selected.
