Slide over and split view in iPad simulator

Question

iOS 9 introduced slide over and split view for iPad. How do I simulate these features on an iPad simulator? I have tried swiping from right on iPad Air 2 simulator with no luck.

Answer 1

To simulate slide over: drag from the right edge (starting from a point very close to the edge).

To simulate split view: tap on the small white bar on the left edge of the slide-over app.

See this WWDC video.

EDIT (Thanks to @qix, @Bogdan Weidmann, @Solomon)

Supported devices:

• iPad Air+, Mini 2+ for slide over

• iPad Air 2, Mini 4, Pro for both slide over & split view

Project requirements:

• Built with iOS 9+ SDK

• Supports all device orientations

• Use launch storyboards

Answer 2

I found that dragging from the right in the simulator didn't work for me (in XCode 9.2).

Instead I had to run my app. Then slide up from the bottom, to get the Dock. Then pressing and holding on Safari, I could drag the icon to the right hand side of the screen. The screen responded, and I could let go. The simulator re-arranged to show a split view.
