How to move app icon to another page in iOS simulator

Question

Xcode is placing my app icon on the second page of icons in the iOS simulator. Is there a way to move the app icon to the first page? I've tried click and hold on the icon. It switches to move/delete mode but when I try to move to the left it snaps back.

I'm developing an app extension and having to swipe left twice every time is getting old. Thanks!

Answer 1

I was troubled with this on iOS 16.2 (xcode 14.2), as the edition mode is triggered but you are not able to drag the apps on the screen. The solution I found is swiping right until you reach the App Library and from there you can easily drag and drop the apps trough your simulator.

Answer 2

I noticed on Simulator v15 this works again but you still have to drag from the App Library (leaving multiple instances of your app on the screen!). The difference now is you have to be holding down the option key when selecting the app from the App Library.
