Where on my machine is the iPhone simulator installed?
I'm been trying to find where a test application I run in the simulator is stored.
If you right click on xcode. app and click "Show package contents" then navigate to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator. platform/Developer/Applications there you will find the iOS Simulator app...
Go to the desired floor in the Meridian Map Editor. Click the location on the map you want to simulate, and then press the lowercase L key. A dialog will appear with the message, “Simulated Location Set”. After a short time, the simulated location you set in the Editor will appear as a pink dot in the Android Emulator.
To launch a Simulator without running an app Do one of the following: Choose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator. Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
You can find the alias in Contents → Applications, as shown below. For easy access to the iOS simulator in the future, drag and drop the iOS Simulator alias on to your Desktop or the Applications folder. The iOS simulator is now installed and running on your Mac, as shown below.
Simulator: ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/
You can browse simulator files from that directory in Mac OS X.
Update for Xcode 4.4: While the iPhone simulator is still in the same place, Apple has included a shortcut to the iPhone Simulator at:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications
Please note that the new version of Xcode is now available on the Mac App Store. Hence all the stuff that used to come with an installer is now packaged into Xcode.app
.
Therefore the iOS Simulator binary is located here:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/
The Apps installed in the simulator along with other configuration files are still here:
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/
Here is an extract from the current release notes of Xcode 4.3.1
What's new in Xcode 4.3.1
Xcode is now distributed as an application, rather than as an installer. This change enables Xcode to be updated directly from the Mac App Store.
