Menu
I'm planning out a game that requires multiple users and I was wondering if there's a way to fire up multiple instances of the iPhone Simulator. I didn't see anything in menus or in Google search results, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

If you require a different version of the iOS simulator than is provided by your Xcode installation, you can download additional simulators in Xcode. Open Xcode and click Menu > Xcode > Preferences > Select Components, and then choose the simulator version you want to download.
For iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps, you can choose a simulated device, under [Platform] Simulators, from the run destination menu next to the scheme menu in the toolbar. To add additional simulators of a product family running older versions of the operating system, choose Add Additional Simulators.
Simulating Different iOS DevicesOpen the iOS simulator, if it's not already open. From the Hardware menu, select Device, and then select the type of device you want to simulate. The simulator window will change to match the dimensions of the device you selected.
It is possible but only with multiple users.

Unfortunately it's a P.I.T.A. having to change users every now and then but so far I haven't found any better solution. Hope this helps.
