Simulator

Other topics

Remarks:

Different Types of Simulators

  • iOS Simulator
  • watchOS Simulator
  • tvOS Simulator
  • Touch Bar Simulator

There is no simulator for macOS, because Xcode is run on macOS and whenever needed, it will run the apps native.

Getting Help

You could always visit Simulator help at Help -> Simulator help:

Launching Simulator

You should go to Xcode -> Open Developer Tool:

enter image description here

Using "Simulator", you could run iOS and tvOS, but "Simulator (Watch)" will only run watchOS.

3D / Force Touch simulation

Go to Hardware -> Touch Pressure:

enter image description here

To simulate a normal press, use Shift-Command-1 and a deep one, Shift-Command-2.

If your MacBook has a Force Touch trackpad, you could use your trackpad force to simulate 3D / Force Touch.

Change Device Model

Go to Hardware -> Device:
