iPhone Simulator location

Question

Where on my machine is the iPhone simulator installed?

I\'m been trying to find where a test application I run in the simulator is stored.

Answer 1

In Xcode 6, iOS Simulator.app is located in this location:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/iOS Simulator.app

Answer 2

Xcode 6 -> /Users/{YOUR NAME}/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/{DEVICE ID}/data/Containers/Data/Application/{APPLICATION ID}/

Or print it out in Xcode console

#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
    NSLog(@"Documents Directory: %@", [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject]);
#endif

Answer 3

The actual Simulator application itself is located at /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone Simulator

Answer 4

In X-Code 4.2
The Photos of the iPhone simulator are stored in

/Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.0/Media/DCIM/100APPLE

Answer 5

For xcode 7, you'll find it at here

/Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/{CRIPTIC NUMBER}/data/Containers/Data/Application/{CRIPTIC NUMBER}/Documents/

or execute the code below in your xcode project

Objective C

NSLog(@"Documents Directory: %@", [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject]);

Swift

print(applicationDocumentsDirectory.path)
