Running Safari on the iOS simulator


I have Xcode and an iOS Simulator (iPhone 11 - 13.3) installed on my Mac. The Mac itself is going through my company's proxy server. It is connecting properly to the Internet - I can bring up desktop Safari and browse to any external site.

How do I get this to work?


Solution

  • Solved. The answer was a combination of the SO answer referred by @Paulw11 + a thread on Apple Developer Forums.
