How to get screenshot for 5.5" screen size in Xcode 15 on sonoma

Problem definition:

Appstore demands 5.5" screenshot.

I need a simulator at that screen size.

So it must be one of these.

iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 6s Plus

Latest Xcode v15 simulator comes with support to only ios17

Since those 3 phones does not have ios17 support, the simulator app does not let me create it...

So what should I do other than taking ss of "iPhone SE" and resizing it to "iPhone 8 Plus"

Thanks

You'll need to install a previously released runtime.

In Xcode's menu bar, click: Window -> Devices and Simulators -> Simulators tab -> + button at bottom (to create a new simulator)

Then select:

Device Type: iPhone 8 Plus
OS version: Download more simulator runtimes...

You'll be brought to the Platforms tab in Xcode preferences. Click the + button at the bottom left and select iOS. You can use the menu to install your desired previously-released iOS runtime.

After installing this runtime, you should be able to set up a new simulator with that runtime selected.
