Dvorak keyboard layout in OS X does not work in iOS simulator. This affects productivity of non-standard keyboard developers by a lot.

Steps to Reproduce:

2. In Keyboard - Input Sources - add Dvorak layout.
3. Use Command-Space to switch to Dvorak layout.
4. Launch iOS simulator, find a textfield to type something.
5. Type something

Expected Results:
The resulting text should be that from a Dvorak keyboard layout.

Actual Results:
The resulting text is from a Qwerty layout.

Notes:
The simulator menu item “Hardware - Keyboard - Uses the same layout as OS X” doesn’t affect the outcome of this issue.
