You can do it even in the older versions with simctl. In the official “What’s new” document for Xcode 9, Apple claims that now you can record a video of simulator’s screen. It’s useful little detail which can help you organize workspace efficiently if you have multiple simulators opened. Now Apple finally made resizing of the Simulator’s window available. Resize Simulator just like a regular windowīefore Xcode 9, we had “Scale options” only to adjust simulator’s window size. But finally, with Xcode 9 this feature is available out of the box.ģ.
There were many “hacks” how to open multiple instances of iOS simulator in an older version of Xcode.
Open Multiple Simulators at Onceĭo you remember the frustration of testing your app on different simulators? Previously you were forced to open only one Simulator instance at the time.
If you don’t have it, please download latest Xcode here. Note: I’ve tested this approach on Simulator from Xcode 9b3.
