How to test iPad Pro on the iOS simulator

It's been hinted at that the iOS simulator can be resized to show the full size keyboard in the iPad Pro (http://www.fastcompany.com/3047871/tech-forecast/the-ipad-pro-doesnt-need-a-physical-keyboard), which presumably would allow for the testing of an app in that screen size, but I haven't found a way to do it. The GM seed of Xcode 7 even has the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, but no iPad Pro in sight. Anybody have any ideas?

How do I open an iPad simulator in Xcode?

The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators.

Can I test iPhone apps on iPad?

You can do this but to test iPhone app on iPad it must be iPhone-only app. Then you will be able to use the zoom capability (which doesnt look nice btw). If you create universal app (which you should do) and test it on iPad it will switch to iPad views and you will end up with iPhone views untested.

If you run on the iPad Pro simulator in Xcode 7.1 Beta and use a storyboard (not an assets file) as your launch screen, it works great.
