Is it possible to open the message composer interface in the iPhone simulator in xcode? if it is can someone tell me how.. I really need it now and having hard times finding a solution how and why my code does not work on simulator.
As of Xcode 11.4, users are finally able to test Push Notifications via the iOS Simulator. We can send push notifications to the simulator in two different ways: Use a command provided by Xcode Command Line Tools in Terminal. Drag and drop an APNs file onto the target simulator.
You can use the Accessibility Inspector for quickly inspecting accessibility properties in your simulator or even for running an audit, which lets you find issues like: small hit areas, contrast ratio issues, non-accessible elements, and more. Go to Xcode's top menu, Open Developer Tools, Accessibility Inspector.
If your target platform is Android, you can test a push notification on an emulator if the emulator target uses a version of Google APIs to receive the push notifications.
It is not possible. This is one of the limitations of iOS Simulator. You also cannot test push notifications, iCloud, etc. If you need to test your code, you will have to join Apple's iOS Developer Program and test the app on your device. It's $99 per year.
