How can I simulate various network conditions directly on my iOS device? I know this is possible on a Mac thanks to the Network Link Conditioner. Is there something similar on iOS devices?
The Network Link Conditioner can be found inside the Hardware folder. By double-clicking the app you can install the utility in your System Preferences. The application is quite similar to the iOS variant and also contains a list of custom presets. These can be used to simulate a range of Network conditions.
As indicated by the alert, to enable Developer Mode go to Settings > Privacy & Security on the iOS device. Scroll down to the Developer Mode list item and navigate into it. To toggle Developer mode, use the “Developer Mode” switch. Tap the switch to enable Developer Mode.
Yes, with iOS 6, it is now possible to use the Network Link Conditioner directly on your iOS device, if your device is set to be enabled for development.
Simply go to Settings > Developer > Network Link Conditioner
to enable it.
If you don't see Settings > Developer
, to enable it:
Xcode > Organizer
I've noticed that sometimes the Developer menu item disappears. It reappears again when installing an app using Xcode.
Might also mention that the developer
option doesn't show up in settings
sometimes until you tether the device and launch Xcode.
Close Settings>tether device>launch Xcode> Open Settings
