This applies to Xcode 4.3 and later, including Xcode 5, Xcode 6, and including Xcode 7, though Previous versions stored the iPhone/iOS simulator elsewhere so you’ll want to be sure to adjust the path depending on which version you are running. Throw that on the desktop or in the Dock for easy access. Select “iOS Simulator.app” or “Simulator.app” and either drag it into the Dock, Launchpad, or hit Command+L to create an aliasĪlternatively, you can grab a pre-made alias in a zip bundle that will open iOS Simulator automatically.Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/atform/Developer/Applications/ Older versions of OS X with Snow Leopard:.Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app Modern versions of OS X including Xcode 7 and El Capitan:.From the Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and paste in the following path, depending on your version of OS X:.This applies to all versions of OS X and Xcode, though you’ll want to vary the path depending on the system version:
Now that I figured it out, I actually like it much better than if the simulator clipboard was automatically tied to the OS X clipboard.Note that modern versions of Xcode and OS X call the iOS Simulator simply “Simulator”, where you go will depend on which version of OS X the Mac is running.Ĭreate a Quick Launch Alias to iOS Simulator The menu options do the same thing as the keyboard shortcuts-copy/paste between the system clipboard and the simulator keyboard. Then in your application, you simulate a touch in the textfield to bring up the paste option, then simulate a touch to the paste button to paste the simulator clipboard contents into the app. Then switch to the simulator, Command-V to paste into the simulator clipboard. So to copy and paste from Chrome (for example), you select the text in Chrome, Command-C to copy. You can use the standard OS X copy paste shortcuts (Command-X,C,V) to paste from the system clipboard into the simulator clipboard. You use the touch-based copy and paste commands to paste into your application from the simulator clipboard. I finally realized that the simulator has it's own clipboard, separate from the main OS X clipboard. Results were similar to what you describe: copy and paste would sometimes paste the same value as I had copied before, but not what I just copied to the clipboard. I was getting frustrated with copy and paste in the simulator and couldn't figure out what was going on.
