Hello, I'm new to iOS development and I'm trying to take some screenshots of my app to submit to the App Store. I'm running Ventura 13.0.1 and XCode 14.1. So far I've used these simulators to take screenshots: 6.5 inch - iPhone 11 Pro Max 6.7 inch - iPhone 14 Pro Max 12.9 inch - iPad Pro 6th gen What I'm stuck on is getting the 5.5 inch screenshots, which are required for App Store submission. As far as I can tell from some online searching, the latest iPhone with that screen size was the 8 Plus. I've installed the oldest iOS simulator that XCode has listed (iOS 13.7), but it still won't let me run a simulator for the iPhone 8 Plus to get those screenshots. I don't have the physical device to take screenshots on. Does anyone know how to get the 5.5 inch screenshots without having to manually resize them?

I installed VisionPro's Simulator with Xcode last year, and now I want to uninstall it, but there is an xrOS1.0 disk in the disk image that cannot be erased. Later, I tried to erase the disk in MacOS recovery, but the display failed. I also tried to uninstall the xrOS1.0 disk, but I can't erase the xrOS1.0 disk. Every time I start up, a pop-up window is verifying xrOS1.0, which affects my normal use. I hope you can give me a solution. Thank you!

Environment: Xcode Version: 15.3 (15E204a) SDK Runtime: iOS 17.4 (17.4 - 21E213) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-17-4 Issue: When calling requestTrackingAuthorization of ATTrackingManager, the completionHandler is immediately called with a value of notDetermined. This behavior is consistent even with async methods used in Runtime 14.0 and above.

I have latest version Xcode-15.1 & Mac-os version Sonoma-14.3.1 - while running particularly UITest target Xcode not launching the simulator, even after build succeed & test's completed without any errors. I tried cleaning project, re-starting Xcode, restarting system(Mac) - no luck It would be helpful if I get any suggestion on resolving the issue.

Similar to this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/747417 I built a binary of our app and shared it with two other colleagues. One of them can drag-and.drop to install and run the app on the simulator, the other it crashes immediately on opening. The error it produces on the console isn't very clear: SpringBoard: (FrontBoard) [com.apple.FrontBoard:Process] Bootstrapping failed for <FBApplicationProcess: 0x112811c00; app<***.***.***((null))>:<invalid>> with error: <NSError: 0x600000de8540; domain: RBSRequestErrorDomain; code: 5; "Launch failed."> { NSUnderlyingError = <NSError: 0x600000de9320; domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain; code: 1> { NSLocalizedDescription = Launchd job spawn failed; }; } His AppleID wasn't on our teams developer list but I already added him, still no luck. Not sure what else can I check, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I wish to login simulator using a sandbox account so that I can test on in-app purchase and subscription. I have created a new apple id account using a new email. I have confirmed the new apple id + password is correct, by login into https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin I also added the new apple id account into App Store Connect as sandbox tester - However, I am still not able login to simulator. I am keep getting error - "Username or password is incorrect" You can see in the simulator background. I can login to https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin using the new apple id + password via web browser. But, I am not sure why I am not able login into the simulator itself. Can anyone assist me on this? Thank you.

Hello. I recently started digging into IOS development with flutter. I am using a MacBook Pro 2018 (intel) and one of my colleagues (with whom we are building an app) is using a very new Pro with M3 chip. We managed to setup, build and run our test app separately. So far so good. But once we started developing our own application, using Firebase and pushing to the same repo, we started having some issues - each time one of us delivers a podfile.lock file and/or Podfile, the other gets some build issues regarding Cocoapods. I started digging and as far as I understood there are differents in how CocoaPods is built depending of the chip - Intel or M. I also checked Cocoapods' documentation - it is suggested that pod files should be under source countrol. Well, okay, but how could we do that if we are using different laptops and that leads to constant build problems? I noticed that when I pull his changes, delete podfile.lock and run pod install, I am able to build the project. But this does not sound like a fix for this... I did not find any info anywhere, so all help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

How does one drag app icons to rearrange them on the iOS Simulator home screen? If I click and hold on an icon, the popover menu will appear and I can click Edit Home Screen, which will put the home screen into edit mode. But I can't find a way to drag the app icons. I've followed the instructions for dragging on this page, but while holding the control key shows a finger pointer, I still can't figure out how to move the app icon. I'm using a trackpad, not a mouse. I don't have a mouse to test with, but I get the same results with both the MacBook Pro internal trackpad and an external Magic Trackpad. https://help.apple.com/simulator/mac/11.0/#/deva6cdf367f

When I run my SwiftUI app on a physical iPhone, the app will randomly crash and print this to the console: warning: failed to set breakpoint site at 0x... for breakpoint -6.1: error: 9 sending the breakpoint request I don't understand because I don't have any breakpoints set. This is one of 5 with different memory addresses and different breakpoint names (-6.2, -7.1, etc.). This only happens on the iPhone and happens even when I don't touch anything and just open the app and let it sit.

I am working on an Apple M2 Pro, MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1. Today Xcode automatically updated from 15.2 to 15.3 and downloaded the new 17.4 simulators and runtime tools. I can no longer run my apps in simulator. On Xcode 15.2, there was an option to choose the destination architecture, under Product -> Destination -> Destination Architectures -> Rosetta (the one I have ben required to select in order to run apps for the last few versions). On Xcode 15.3, the option to chose the destination architecture is now missing. I am still able to build successfully to my phone directly. I am unable to build to a simulator, I get the same error for regarding a linker error failure. I have tried: reboot laptop delete information stored in derived data delete local Podfile.lock delete Pods folder pod install reopen xcode run on device - works! run on 17.2 simulator - fails with error run on 17.4 simulator - fails with error Our Podfile looks like this: require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules' require_relative '../node_modules/react-native-permissions/scripts/setup' platform :ios, '13.4' prepare_react_native_project! setup_permissions([ 'AppTrackingTransparency', 'Camera', 'LocationAlways', 'LocationWhenInUse', 'Notifications', ]) target 'myapp' do config = use_native_modules! # @react-native-firebase/app requirement: use_frameworks! :linkage => :static $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true use_react_native!( :path => config[:reactNativePath], # to enable hermes on iOS, change `false` to `true` and then install pods :hermes_enabled => false ) # Pods for GoogleMaps on iOS rn_maps_path = '../node_modules/react-native-maps' pod 'react-native-google-maps', :path => "#{rn_maps_path}" pod 'react-native-camera', path: '../node_modules/react-native-camera', subspecs: [ 'BarcodeDetectorMLKit' ] pod 'RNSquareInAppPayments', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-square-in-app-payments' target 'myappTests' do inherit! :complete # Pods for testing end # Enables Flipper. # # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and # you should disable the next line. # use_flipper!("Flipper-DoubleConversion" => "1.1.7") #avoid duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64 for Folly post_install do |installer| react_native_post_install(installer) installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| if target.name == "RCT-Folly" target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', 'FOLLY_HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME=1'] end end end end end I'm open to additional suggestions, at this point, I can't see a way to tell xcode that we need the other build option (like specifying Rosetta which I used to be able to do). Also, if anyone can help me understand why it is doing this, I'm busy on Google, but not finding what I'm looking for, so I wonder if I'm looking for the right things. Thanks so much! Error:

Recently we were told to upgrade to XCode 15. After upgrade, everything works fine but the simulator is unusable slow. The simulator start takes around 10 minutes. The interact for a single click takes 1 minutes. We searched for a solution but looks like none of works for our case. Any help would be appreciate. Cheers.

we are using xcode15.1 and 16.1 simulator on some mac minis, but recently lots of Macs having the below 16.1 not available issue, what I can fix it is need to restart the mac, I am wondering what is the root cause? `-- Unavailable: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-16-1 -- iPhone 8 (FBCB5581-3BDC-44A5-AF81-A8C43B64C051) (Creating) (unavailable, runtime profile not found using "System" match policy) iPhone 8 Plus (622EBC11-EF31-4DD4-B632-39341029241E) (Shutdown) (unavailable, runtime profile not found using "System" match policy) iPhone 11 (AFEB049D-6DDF-4ABD-ADD6-9A423E4F7D36) (Shutdown) (unavailable, runtime profile not found using "System" match policy) iPhone 11 Pro (66A4DF36-3430-4DF9-9782-94520D13A9AE) (Shutdown) (unavailable, runtime profile not found using "System" match policy) iPhone 11 Pro Max (7238D469-8D7B-4D87-AB33-8752BE7A5218) (Shutdown) (unavailable, runtime profile not found using "System" match policy)

Seems bizarre but since updating to Sonoma (14.2), I've actually lost menu items in the iOS phone simulators. Basically there is no longer any Settings->wifi item in the simulators' menu at all, so I can't do what I've always done & set a manual proxy (in order to use Charles proxy). I've been doing this for years & we generally use about 4 or 5 simulators for testing with Xcode, and now suddenly there's no ability to set a manual proxy on any of them - they have all lost these menu items. Does anyone know what has gone one & how I fix this, please !!!! I can't find info about this via the usual googling. If it makes any difference I'm using Xcode 15.2, 16" MacBook 2019 with intel chipset.

Hi, I'm in the team maintaining company-wise CI for iOS build and test, which runs over 100 macs on the system with every stable versions of Xcode/simulators and the latest beta/rc. I've been terribly suffered from xcodebuild test failure with simulator destination on Xcode beta series since Xcode 14.x has changed its CoreSimulator behavior from static simruntime into simdisk-based dynamic runtime. (If you search for xcrun simctl runtime match set 'watchos9.1' 20S75 you can check what I have been fighting for.) At the end of numerous nightly overtimes I finally found out that ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/RuntimeMap.plist is closely related to xcrun simctl runtime match command. If CoreSimulatorService relaunches when RuntimeMap.plist is corrupted (or missing), Chosen Runtime will be set as default SDK (pretty sure it is SDK version of iphoneos, not iphonesimulator) ex) $ sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_15.2.app $ sed -i '' -e 's|21C62|21Cblabla|' ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/RuntimeMap.plist $ sudo pkill -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService $ xcrun simctl runtime match list == Evaluation Results == appletvos17.2: SDK Version: 17.2 SDK Build: 21K354 Platform: com.apple.platform.appletvos Chosen Runtime: tvOS 17.2 (17.2 - 21K364) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS-17-2 User Override: (null) Preferred: tvOS 17.2 (17.2 - 21K364) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.tvOS-17-2 Default: 21K354 iphoneos17.2: SDK Version: 17.2 SDK Build: 21C52 Platform: com.apple.platform.iphoneos Chosen Runtime: 21C52 User Override: (null) Preferred: 21Cblabla Default: 21C52 watchos10.2: SDK Version: 10.2 SDK Build: 21S355 Platform: com.apple.platform.watchos Chosen Runtime: watchOS 10.2 (10.2 - 21S364) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.watchOS-10-2 User Override: (null) Preferred: watchOS 10.2 (10.2 - 21S364) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.watchOS-10-2 Default: 21S355 xros1.0: SDK Version: 1.0 SDK Build: 21N301 Platform: com.apple.platform.xros Chosen Runtime: visionOS 1.0 (1.0 - 21N305) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-1-0 User Override: (null) Preferred: visionOS 1.0 (1.0 - 21N305) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.xrOS-1-0 Default: 21N301 The question is: Where exactly is the path or file that reflects this change? What file is Chosen Runtime of runtime match list tracking? When is the time to re-download and fix if it is corroded or not found? P.S. Thanks valexeev4 for letting me know where RuntimeMap plist is. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/738077?answerId=765617022#765617022

Hello guys I downloaded some simulators on Xcode, and I can see them from Xcode-Window-Devices and Simulators, please check But when I try to test my app on these simulators, some of them are missing. E.g. iPhone 13 Why? Please help, thank you.

how to run flutter project with release mode in simulator

I've noticed some issues in the iOS simulator when reordering elements in a List while the view is in edit mode. The rows will sometimes disappear or repeat. I have verified that the data source is updating after the move but the rows themselves will render strangely, like some rows will be repeated or just disappear entirely. It also doesn't seem to happen on a physical device, just the simulator. Here is a reproducible example view: struct ContentView: View { @State var arr = ["Dan", "Jeffery", "Alice", "Jessica", "Mary"] var body: some View { NavigationView { List { ForEach(arr, id: \.self) { user in Text(user) } .onMove(perform: { from, to in arr.move(fromOffsets: from, toOffset: to) }) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .navigationBarTrailing) { EditButton() } } .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } .stackNavigationView() } }

Anyone else having issues where you can see your 3D models in Xcode preview but when running simulator all you see is the progress view spinner? Below is my Model3D load that I can see in preview but in simulator it only shows the spinner. Any suggestions? import RealityKit struct Three_D_Ad: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image("Fender") Text("Fender Stratocaster") .font(.title) Text("Legendary Sound") Model3D(named: "Fender") { model in model .resizable() .scaledToFit() .scaleEffect(0.75) } placeholder: { ProgressView() } } } } #Preview { Three_D_Ad() }

I built the Xcode project, and in the Products folder, the build is created. I tried dragging and dropping it onto the simulator, and the app got installed. However, when I open the app, it suddenly crashes. I'm not sure what the reason is, although the same app build is working fine on other Mac machines. Note:- I am using a MacBook Pro M1 Max I tried running the console for this and got these errors: error 10:04:55.421406+0530 runningboardd <OSLaunchdJob | handle=B74FA3B1-3669-41C9-9BCA-4952DFE273D4>: job failed to spawn, plist={ ProcessType => App EnableTransactions => false _ManagedBy => com.apple.runningboard RootedSimulatorPath => true CFBundleIdentifier => com.edriving.mentor.business.dev _ResourceCoalition => app<com.edriving.mentor.business.dev((null))> ThrottleInterval => 2147483647 MachServices => {} EnablePressuredExit => false InitialTaskRole => 1 UserName => mobile EnvironmentVariables => { TMPDIR => /Users/abhishek.bhardwaj/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/79F383B3-B1EF-442A-9FBB-B9CF818865E9/data/Containers/Data/Application/1C04E6EF-7BBF-4B5A-843F-4850DDB74D92/tmp HOME => /Users/abhishek.bhardwaj/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/79F383B3-B1EF-442A-9FBB-B9CF818865E9/data/Containers/Data/Application/1C04E6EF-7BBF-4B5A-843F-4850DDB74D92 CFFIXED_USER_HOME => /Users/abhishek.bhardwaj/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/79F383B3-B1EF-442A-9FBB-B9CF818865E9/data/Containers/Data/Application/1C04E6EF-7BBF-4B5A-843F-<…>} #error 10:04:55.421451+0530 runningboardd Process start failed with Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed} #error 10:04:55.421761+0530 runningboardd Job remove after failed start failed with Error Domain=OSLaunchdErrorDomain Code=36 "Operation now in progress" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Operation now in progress} #error 10:04:55.421780+0530 runningboardd Launch failed with Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed} #error 10:04:55.423921+0530 sharingd SDAirDropNearFieldService.startNearFieldController SKIP - AirDrop is restricted #error 10:04:55.423929+0530 sharingd SDAirDropNearFieldService: missing Near field Controller, will not start polling #error 10:04:55.422339+0530 SpringBoard Bootstrapping failed for <FBApplicationProcess: 0x104d12ed0; app<com.edriving.mentor.business.dev((null))>:> with error: <NSError: 0x600000c04bd0; domain: RBSRequestErrorDomain; code: 5; "Launch failed."> { NSUnderlyingError = <NSError: 0x600000c04e10; domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain; code: 1> { NSLocalizedDescription = Launchd job spawn failed; }; } #error 10:04:55.429857+0530 SpringBoard Live host view super view[(null)] not matching container view[<UIView: 0x1067b9000; frame = (0 0; 393 852); clipsToBounds = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x60000024e440>>], frame not updated #error 10:04:55.430074+0530 SpringBoard Live host view super view[(null)] not matching container view[<UIView: 0x1067b9000; frame = (0 0; 393 852); clipsToBounds = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x60000024e440>>], frame not updated #error 10:04:55.430887+0530 SpringBoard Live host view super view[(null)] not matching container view[<UIView: 0x1067b9000; frame = (0 0; 393 852); clipsToBounds = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x60000024e440>>], frame not updated #error 10:04:55.431520+0530 SpringBoard Live host view super view[(null)] not matching container view[<UIView: 0x1067b9000; frame = (0 0; 393 852); clipsToBounds = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x60000024e440>>], frame not updated #error 10:04:55.442060+0530 SpringBoard Live host view super view[(null)] not matching container view[<UIView: 0x1067b9000; frame = (0 0; 393 852); clipsToBounds = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x600

I am developing an application with React Native, and I need to take screen recordings in the simulators I open with XCode. I am using the recording feature available in the simulators, but it does not capture the sound coming from the simulator and records silently. How can I enable it?
