How to download iPad Mini simulator


I want to test my application on iPad mini screen in Xcode 8.2, but I could not find the simulator for the same.

I have also tried to add simulator Hardware > Device > click bottom add menu but here I do not see any option to download the iPad mini simulator. There is no option for iPad mini (image here)


Solution

  • By popular demand, Xcode now includes the iPad mini Simulator. It is not created by default, but you can use the Xcode Devices & Simulators window or xcrun simctl from the command line to create one.

    For example, to create an iPad mini 4 simulator with Xcode 11.2:

    xcrun simctl create "iPad mini 4" com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPad-mini-4 com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-13-2
