iOS Simulator on Mac with Ethernet & WiFi


I am working on a Mac that has an Ethernet connection to a LAN and the Internet. I have an iOS application that I am running in the simulator that needs to connect to a WiFi network in another office. I turned on Airport and connected to the WiFi network I need, but I don't know if the simulator is using the Ethernet or Wifi connection to communicate. I looked for settings in the simulator and couldn't find a way to tell it to use the WiFi connection exclusively.

Thanks for your help.


Solution

  • A coworker answered this question for me today. Apparently, the iOS simulator does not do WiFi. It only knows about a network connection. He said the simulator simply reports that there's a connection, but it's not WiFi.

    Hope this helps someone.
