Test on iOS Simulator

If you do not have an iOS device or you do not want to create an account, you can test applications on Simulator, which is installed as part of Xcode. Each Xcode version simulates a predefined set of hardware devices and software versions.

You can change the simulated hardware and software version in the run settings for the project. Go to Projects > Run, and then select the device to simulate in the Device type field.

The simulator starts automatically when you run the application. To start the simulator manually, either start the Simulator application directly with Spotlight, or go to Xcode > Open Developer Tool in Xcode.

Manage the available simulator devices in Xcode.
