Apple TV simulator - Siri Remote not appearing

Sometimes when using the Apple TV simulator, the simulated Siri Remote goes missing. Toggling it's visibility does nothing - it's extremely frustrating!

Solution

  • This happens when you are using external monitors. To bring it back, use the command line to reset the position of the remote:

    defaults delete com.apple.iphonesimulator "NSWindow Frame Apple TV Remote Window"

    Then, re-launch Simulator.app, open a TV and SHIFT⌘R again!
