This stopped working for me the same day I updated from Xcode 9 to Xcode 10.

You should see Simulator! And Spotlight should find it now too! (Note: Spotlight should find it. Otherwise, skip down to the Addendum for an explanation. If you're comfortable with that, hit Enter. Open Terminal (in the Applications folder) or your favorite terminal appĬopy and paste this line: ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app /Applications So make a symbolic link of it in the Applications folder. Simulator is a standalone app but it's buried deep within the hidden contents of XCode, where you can't get at it, and where Spotlight doesn't see it. It works for watchOS and tvOS as well! Getting Readyįirst install XCode, Apple's developer suit. Here's how to get it up and running with just a few clicks (and some longish download waits). The app is hidden away and you need to go through some hoops to support older versions of iOS, but you don't need special technical know-how. Apple makes iOS testing available for free to all macOS users, with their Simulator app. Several popular web-based browser testing services make it possible to test iOS's Mobile Safari, but the best of these tools require an additional fee, have limited free features, or restrict the number of users who can use an account at the same time. Part of preparing most websites and web apps for shipment is testing across devices. The next in the series is Set Up a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and Run Internet Explorer 11 and Edge on Mac or Linux. That’s right: web devs will be able to test their sites on Internet Explorer for free using an iPad.This article is part of a series on running cross-browser tests directly on your primary computer. It’s powered by Microsoft Azure’s RemoteApp service, and will run on just about any system, including Windows 7, Mac OS X, iOS and Android.


It’s designed to give web developers the ability to test their sites on the future of Microsoft’s browser without having to jump through any hoops. The next version of Internet Explorer, bundled with the Windows 10 Technical Preview, is supposed to be the next step in that evolution.īut not everyone wants to run the Windows 10 beta, which is why Microsoft launched RemoteIE, a new service that lets people stream a remote Windows virtual machine running Windows 10 and the latest version of Internet Explorer. But over the past few years, Microsoft has been working to reverse that reputation. Historically, Internet Explorer earned a reputation among web developers for being idiosyncratic and dodgy when it came to web standards. Yep, that’s Internet Explorer running on my Mac, thanks to RemoteIE
