How to simulate simultaneous touch in iOS Simulator

Question

I currently have two buttons on my screen , one on the left and one on the right , I wanted to know if there is a way in the iOS Simulator to simulate both buttons being pressed at the same time. I tried pressing ⌥ Alt on the simulator as a result two circles appear. I can position one circle to the first button on the left however I am not sure how to position the next circle on the right button.

Answer 1

Once you have the two circles (using the Alt key), move the circles together, then hold the shift key: this will allow you to move the two circles anywhere on the simulator screen.

Then let go the key and click.

I just tried it with this code:

-(void)tapTwo:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)recognizer
{
    CGPoint p1 = [recognizer locationOfTouch:0 inView:self.view];
    CGPoint p2 = [recognizer locationOfTouch:1 inView:self.view];
    NSLog(@"Points: %@ and %@",NSStringFromCGPoint(p1),NSStringFromCGPoint(p2));
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UITapGestureRecognizer* r = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapTwo:)];
    r.numberOfTouchesRequired = 2;
   [self.view addGestureRecognizer:r];
}

and it worked as expected.
