I have an app that I need to test 3 finger touches and 2 finger touches, is there a FREE application that allows me to use 3 finger instead of being limited to only using 2 fingers like in the simulator?
You can pinch-zoom/swipe in the iOS simulator by holding the Opt key and clicking + dragging your mouse cursor.
The iOS Simulator provides us with a feature that can bypass this kind of behavior. Click on your Simulator and then go Hardware -> Touch ID or FaceID from the top menu bar. In the submenu there will be 3 options available: Enrolled - enables the Touch ID or Face ID feature.
You can move the two gray circles that represent your fingers around the screen by holding Option and Shift and moving the mouse. Save this answer. Show activity on this post. Save this answer.
In the Hardware menu, choose Shake Gesture. That's it. Your shake handler should be called when you do so.
Not that I'm aware of. I think the iPhone Simulator included in the SDK is the only one that exists. You can't test a 3-fingered gesture without using the actual device.
iSimulate by vimov might be close to what you are looking for. I've sent the question of three finger touches to their support. Unfortunately, it is not FREE ($15.99) and requires you have an iPhone or iPod Touch to use it. You do not need to be a signed up developer though.
UPDATE: I got the following reply from support:
Yes, iSimulate works with up to five fingers which is the limit of iPhone touch screen.
