![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I came up with the idea to use Automator and was going to write about it, but a quick DuckDuckGo search led me to Swiss Mac Users’s site where he had already detailed and explained the process. LaunchBar, which is my launcher of choice, also ignores aliases, so dragging Simulator.app out to /Applications as an alias also doesn’t help. Because the Simulator.app is embedded within the Xcode app bundle, apps like LaunchBar won’t find it to index it. (Which, by the way, is slow and not ideal, but it’s the only way I’ve found to catch certain quirks specific to Safari on iOS.) Launching the Simulator, though, always requires opening Xcode and going to Developer Tools. I don’t do much iOS development, but I do use the iOS Simulator for testing web applications. It’s fairly obvious, but I hadn’t thought of it until yesterday. This is a quick tip for developers, or anyone who uses the iOS Simulator on macOS. It was quickly pointed out to me on Twitter that this is incorrect and Spotlight is indeed able to find the Simulator, so this only applies to people who prefer to launch from LaunchBar or similar. They usually get longer than “quick” would imply, for which I refuse to apologize.Ĭorrection: This post originally stated that Spotlight was also unable to index Simulator. Quick tips are random posts regarding something I discovered on my way to something bigger. ![]()
