Connect Hardware Keyboard Option in iOS sim doesn't work in 1.6.4 beta
See original GitHub issueThe problem
With appium 1.6.4-beta and XCUITest driver 2.9 and 2.10, the Connect Hardware Keyboard option in the iOS simulator is always off, even if you go the menu to enable it.
This makes manually typing into a simulator impossible, which is quite frustrating.
To Reproduce:
npm uninstall -g appium
npm install -g appium@beta
cd path/to/your/appium.txt
arc
After the simulator completes launching, check Hardware -> Keyboard -> Connect Hardware Keyboard. It will be unchecked. Try enabling it, then check the menu again. It will still be disabled.

I simply uninstalled and reinstalled, and it was there.
We can make this option configurable via capabilities
