Run app on iPad Mini Retina on Xcode 6

Question

I build app for iPad and sent to my client, and gave me feedback that it runs on every iPad devices which we supported(compatible with iOS5+ iPad 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, mini, mini 2, Air) except iPad Mini Retina, he said that App install fine but doesn't. I don't have iPad Mini Retina but I want to check this on my side. I install latest Xcode 6 but still I am not able to see iPad Mini Simulator which you can see attached image. So kindly any one give me suggestion how to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Although an iPad mini isn’t an option for a simulated device in iOS Simulator, you can still test apps for the iPad mini in the simulator. To do this, run your app on the simulated iPad without Retina display.

So, the scoop is that you have to build apps for iPad 2 resolution. The iPad Mini is non-retina with a resolution of 1024x768 which means apps that already worked on an iPad 2 automatically work on iPad Mini. This is another useful thread.
