I want to create an app to display a live photo. But I don't have an iPhone 6S
. Is there a opportunity to put a live photo into the iOS Simulator
?
Thanks!
The Camera doesn't show on iOS simulator, but works on Android emulator ❓ #1045.
Install Apps on SimulatorsTo install an app on a connected simulator, follow these steps. Go to Apps > Install Application. Find and open the app you want to install from your Mac. The app appears in the list of installed apps on the right side of the iOS Gateway window.
The interface has improved greatly since this was originally asked/answered. It's now very easy to do this.
Original Answer:
This is how I did it. Using the PhotosUI interface, my app asks for a LivePhoto. Using the PHAsset it gives me, I save a local copy of the .mov file and the high quality .png image. These two files are the "LivePhoto". In Xcode, I go to Devices with my phone connected, select the app, click on the settings cog icon at the bottom and select download container. Go to Finder, right click on the .xcappdata file I just downloaded, select ShowPackageContents and the files are where I wrote them. I drag them into the app (Xcode is open - drop them on the navigator pane on the left), and they will be added to the app's bundle.
