• How to resize the iPhone/iPad Simulator? 11 answers

Even after scaling the IPhone 6 plus simulator to 50% (No option to scale less than this), the size is still big to work with it. How can i scale down it to 25% or less ?

Answer 1

Now you can scale down to 25% of actual resolution in Xcode 6.3.1

1. Run you app on Simulator
2. Select Window -> Scale (choose percent to be scaled)

Shortcut keys :

Command Key + 1 : 100%
Command Key + 2 : 75%
Command Key + 3 : 50%
Command Key + 4 : 33%
Command Key + 5 : 25%

Answer 2

You can scale iOS simulator to desire scale (I tried from .2 to 1.4 ) and it worked for me.

To do this you have to go to /Library/Preferences and edit com.apple.iphonesimulator.plist >file. Edit value for KEY SimulatorWindowLastScale to desire scale.

I tried this on latest Version of Mountain Lion (10.8.4) and on the iOS 6.0 simulator.

I tested it on 10.8.x (with other Simulator Devices), but not on 10.9.x or 10.10

Answer 3

Run this in a terminal:

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphonesimulator SimulatorWindowLastScale "0.4"

You may vary "0.4" to your liking. Then, in simulator, hardware-> devices-> iphone 6 plus.
