How to test Optimized Storage iCloud Photos/Videos in Simulator?

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!

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