What Simulator devices are currently needed to make screenshots for Apple App Store?


I ask this question as instead of getting to this information quickly I had to search for it in a more complicated manner.

So, what Simulator devices are needed to make screenshots for all resolutions that are now required to publish or update an application in the App Store?

I believe this can be helpful to a lot of developers as the error message while uploading images is not very helpful.


Solution

  • As of Feb 2023:

    • For iPhone 6.7" Display, use iPhone 14 Pro Max
    • For iPhone 6.5" Display, use iPhone 13 Pro Max
    • For iPhone 5.5" Display, use iPhone 8 Plus
    • For iPad Pro (3rd Gen) 12.9" Display, use iPad Pro (12.9-inch)
    • For iPad Pro (2nd Gen) 12.9" Display, use iPad Pro (12.9-inch)

    (So, for the iPads, you only need one device.)

    Here's how it looks like in practice.
