Where Does Simulator 8.0 Store Files

Question

I cannot find the directory for the new simulator data in Xcode-6 Beta for IOS 8

It is not in ~/Library/Application Support/IPhone Simulator/

Where does the iPhone Simulator store its data?

Answer 1

With the simulator open, go to Hardware->Devices->Manage Devices.

A Window shows, outlining each of the simulators available, and the Unique Identifier that goes with each one.

Therefore, after you have navigated in Finder to ~Library/Developer/CoreSimulator as others describe above, you can tell which of the directories therein contains the simulator you want, by looking for the Unique Identifier.

Once inside there, you still need to drill down further... in my case I found I had to navigate into data/Containers/Data/Application, then look for the folder inside that had todays date.

Finally! I arrived at my familiar Documents and Library folders.

Thanks Apple once again, for keeping us iOS developers gainfully employed!
