Apple Photos has support for "Optimize iPhone Storage" within iCloud Photos that removes Videos and Photos off the device when device storage is constrained.

Is there a way to test this on simulators? Specifically, I'd like to know if it would be possible to make a Video always require a download so I can ensure my app handles downloading iCloud videos gracefully.

I've tried signing in to iCloud on the simulator but it never seems to load my photos and videos.

Thanks in advance!

This is not currently supported but your use case sounds like a really useful one! Can you please file a Feedback request with the details, especially describing why this is useful for your testing?

Did you ever find a good way to test this out? I'm running into the same issue.
