How can I change the framerate settings in iOS Simulator?


At home, when I run all of my programs, by default run at a maximum of 60 fps (I use the show FPS to see it as the program runs).

However, I have just transferred the program to my laptop. Now the program runs at a maximum of 30 FPS by default (deleting all the code so that it does nothing didn't make a difference)

Please can someone help me find the relevant setting on Xcode to fix this? Thanks


Solution

  • If I am understanding this correctly, when the simulator is 1/4 of your screen on your laptop, it can run at 60FPS, if it is full screen on your laptop, then it runs 30FPS. If this is the case, then your laptop is too old for the simulator that you are currently running, time to upgrade I guess

    Your machine has to do a lot of extra work to simulate the iphone environment, it will run a lot faster at the hardware level
