"Display P3" screenshots from iOS Simulator


Is there a way to get "Display P3" screenshots from the simulator? The difference in the greens is terrible! But having to do 55 screenshots from the device instead is much more work.

I'm on a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar that should technically be able to display P3 colors.

Solution

  • No. Unfortunately, the QuartzCore software renderer only supports sRGB. There is no way to get extended range sRGB or P3 out of that render pipeline in the simulator.

    Regarding the lack of color matching, the thing you mentioned in your radar but not here is that you'r eon Xcode 8.2. The correct colorspace should be getting propagated in Xcode 9. Please try out Xcode 9.2.
