I had the same issue with a form of mine. I was trying to create a form where the user could fill it out, select the category, and create a post of the specified custom post type. Sadly, I couldn’t get the Post Category field to work. However, I was able to find a solution (mostly by accident).

Here’s what I did:

1. Created a normal checkbox field
2. Named it ‘Category’
3. Went to the Advanced Tab
4. Checked the ‘Populate with a Taxonomy’ field
5. Selected my custom post type category

After that, the checkboxes were now populated with all the categories I had created for that custom post type. Awesome! After I filled out the form, I found that it created a new post of the custom post type I chose with the categories I checked! I don’t know how it reads the regular checkbox information and adds the category, but hey it works. Hope this helps!
