Simulator runs devices from different platforms including iPhone, iPad, iWatch, and Apple TV. Interacting with Simulator differs from interacting with an actual device. This chapter covers ways of interacting that are common to all platforms. Other interactions, such as manipulating the user interface, differ between touch-based devices and Apple TV and are covered in different chapters.

In this chapter you learn how to:

  • Use the Mac keyboard for input in multiple languages

  • Take a screenshot of the simulated device

  • Change the scale of the simulated device

For information on specific ways of interacting with iOS and watchOS devices, see Interacting with iOS and watchOS.

For information on interacting with tvOS, see Interacting with tvOS.

Using the Mac Keyboard for Input

Simulator can use the keyboard on your Mac as input to the simulated device. For you to most accurately simulate a device in Simulator, the simulator uses iOS keyboard layouts, as opposed to OS X keyboard layouts. If you have chosen Hardware > Keyboard > iOS Uses Same Keyboard Layout As OS X, Simulator automatically selects the keyboard that most closely matches the keyboard layout of your Mac. For most cases, leave this option selected. However, if you do feel a need to disable it—allowing you to select completely different keyboard layouts for your Mac and Simulator—choose Hardware > Keyboard > iOS Uses Same Keyboard Layout As OS X. Choose the same menu item again to enable the option.

Note: For the simulator to automatically switch keyboard layouts when the Mac layout is changed, both Connect Hardware Keyboard and iOS Uses Same Layout As OS X must be selected.

To add a keyboard layout on your Mac

  1. Open System Preferences, and choose the Keyboard preference.

  2. Select the Input Sources pane.

  3. Press the Add button (+) to show the keyboard layout chooser.

  4. Choose the desired keyboard, and press Add. The new keyboard layout is added to the list of available layouts.

    This screenshot shows the keyboard layout chooser with the Swiss German layout selected:

To select a keyboard layout on your Mac

  1. Select the desired keyboard from the Input menu. An example menu is shown below.

    If the Input menu item is not in the Mac menu bar, use the following steps to add it:

    1. Open System Preferences and choose the Keyboard preference.

    2. Select the Input Sources pane.

    3. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar,” as shown here:

Installing Apps

When you build your app for Simulator, Xcode automatically installs it in the selected simulation environment. Each simulation environment emulates a different device. Installing your app in one environment does not install it in any other. It is also possible to have different versions of your app in different environments.

You can also install an app by dragging any previously built app bundle into the simulator window.

Note: You cannot install apps from the App Store in simulation environments.

Taking a Screenshot with Simulator

In Simulator you can copy a screenshot of the iOS device simulator to your Mac Clipboard or save a screenshot to the desktop. To capture any simulated external display save the screenshot as a file.

  • To take a screenshot of the iOS, watchOS, or tvOS device and save it to your Mac Clipboard, choose Edit > Copy Screen.

  • To save a screenshot of the iOS, watchOS, or tvOS device and of the external display as files, choose File > Save Screen Shot. A screenshot of each open simulated device is saved to the desktop of your Mac.

Taking a Screenshot or Recording a Video Using the Command Line

You can take a screenshot or record a video of the simulator window using the xcrun command-line utility.

Space simulator mac os xArduino simulator mac os x
  1. Launch your app in Simulator.

  2. Launch Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities), and enter the appropriate command:

    • To take a screenshot, use the screenshot operation:

      xcrun simctl io booted screenshot

      You can specify an optional filename at the end of the command.

    • To record a video, use the recordVideo operation:

      xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo <filename>.<extension>

      To stop recording, press Control-C in Terminal.

      Note: You must specify a filename for recordVideo.

    The default location for the created file is the current directory.

    For more information on simctl, run this command in Terminal:

    xcrun simctl help

    For more information on the io subcommand of simctl, run this command:

    xcrun simctl io help

Viewing the Simulated Device’s Screen

Even though Simulator runs on all Mac computers, its appearance may differ depending on the model. If the resolution of the simulated device is too large for the simulator window to fit on your screen, scale Simulator by choosing Window > Scale > percentage of choice.

Mac

Web developers know it’s important to test their websites on every web browser and device possible. And with the growing popularity of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, it’s only natural that they’ll also want to test their websites on all of those devices. But short of stocking up on a bunch of Apple products, how can developers preview their websites in iOS?

Actually, it’s easy. Anybody can do it by installing Apple’s iOS simulator on their Mac for free. This functional demo, complete with the mobile Safari web browser, allows you to preview your website or web application in iOS. It looks exactly the same as it does on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

There are limitations to the simulator. You can’t install apps from the App Store in the simulator, so forget about playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted. And many of the apps that come preinstalled on iOS devices are not available in the simulator. Here’s the bottom line: This stripped-down simulator is great for testing websites, but not much else.

Installing the iOS Simulator on Your Mac

Bus Simulator Mac Os X

Ready to get started? The first step is downloading Xcode and installing the iOS simulator on your Mac. Here’s how to install the iOS simulator on your Mac:

Drone simulator mac os x
  1. Download and install Xcode from the Mac App Store. It’s free!

  2. Right click on the Xcode icon in the Applications folder and select Show Package Contents, as shown below.

  3. Open the iPhone Simulator application. You can find the alias in Contents → Applications, as shown below.

  4. For easy access to the iOS simulator in the future, drag and drop the iOS Simulator alias on to your Desktop or the Applications folder.

  5. The iOS simulator is now installed and running on your Mac, as shown below.

As mentioned earlier, you’ll notice that the simulator is missing a lot of the applications and settings that come with every iOS device.

Rotating the Simulator

Every iOS device has a gyroscope that keeps track of the screen’s orientation. For example, if you turn the device horizontally, iOS will automatically rotate the screen if you’re using an app that supports the feature. The simulator can rotate, too! It can be a useful tool when you’re developing a responsive website or web app.

Here’s how to rotate the simulator:

  1. Open the iOS simulator, if it’s not already open.

  2. Open the Safari app in the simulator.

  3. From the Hardware menu, select Rotate Left or Rotate Right. The simulator will rotate, as shown below.

To rotate the simulator back again, select a rotation option from the Hardware menu.

Simulating Different iOS Devices

What good would an iOS simulator be without the ability to switch between the different dimensions of the iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and the different versions of the iPad? The simulator lets you use them all on your Mac. Here’s how to simulate a different iOS device with the iOS simulator:

  1. Open the iOS simulator, if it’s not already open.
  2. From the Hardware menu, select Device, and then select the type of device you want to simulate.
  3. The simulator window will change to match the dimensions of the device you selected.

To restore the original window with the iPhone case as a border, select iPhone.
