I need to make screen shots (specifically iPad Pro 12.9") for the App Store. I resized the simulator to fit it on my mac's screen. Now I can't resize it back to 100%, which is required to make a new screen shot. Both sizing options, Physical Size (Cmd-1) and Pixel Accurate (Cmd-2) are grayed out. How do I reset the simulator back to 100%?
Workaround: I was able to manually resize the simulator window using the mouse to grab the corner (the new way to adjust size in 9.1). Using trial-and-error by resizing, making new screen shots, and checking the resulting pixel dimensions, I was able to manually get it back to 100% (2048x2732). The original question still remains; is there a way to reset the simulator to 100% without using this workaround?
You can pick & drag any corner of simulator to resize it and set it according to your requirement. Note: With Xcode 9.1+, Simulator scale options are changed.
Open Xcode and click Menu > Xcode > Preferences > Select Components, and then choose the simulator version you want to download.
Build Your App using Active Configuration = Release, then right click on the . xcodeproj. Select Reveal in Finder. Then have a look at App Size in the Build Subdirectory.
Just resize up the simulator window dragging until the size reaches a size greater than or equal the original size, this worked for me.
