Testing iOS permission flows gets messy fast. Denied camera, fresh location prompt, push notification onboarding: each state can send you into reinstall cycles. RocketSim lets you grant, revoke, or reset permissions instead.

We're enhancing our support for accessibility 🚀

VoiceOver order is not the same as your view hierarchy. While building VoiceOver Navigator, I focused on making that order visible instead of hidden behind swipes. The numbered overlay on the Simulator is the whole point.

Finding a Simulator sandbox through CoreSimulator paths is still one of Xcode’s weirdest chores. RocketSim gives you one-click access to your app’s sandbox, Documents, Caches, Derived Data, and app group directories from a single menu.

Status bar editing in RocketSim started with one tiny detail: 09:41. Apple uses it in keynotes, and you can set the Simulator time, battery, charging state, and network before taking screenshots.

Simulator captures shouldn't send you to Finder every time. RocketSim stacks screenshots and recordings in floating windows on the side, ready to copy, save, or drag where you need them.

Re-running the same build on a physical iPhone often means digging through Xcode again. RocketSim Recent Builds lets you relaunch, terminate, uninstall, or start with a supported locale. For real devices, it only shows the actions that apply.

Testing permission dialogs on the Simulator often turns into reinstall cycles. In RocketSim, you can grant, revoke, or reset camera, location, contacts, photos, and more without reinstalling your app. Which permission flow do you retest most?

Testing Dynamic Type from Simulator Settings breaks flow. By the time you reach the right accessibility setting, the screen you wanted to inspect is often gone. RocketSim keeps Environment Overrides next to the Simulator: Dynamic Type, Inverted Colors, and more.

Testing location-aware flows on a real iPhone often ends with hardcoded coordinates. RocketSim now simulates GPS on connected iPhones and iPads, reuses saved locations, and resets back to the device’s real location. With Xcode 27, the time zone follows too.

Deep-link testing on a real iPhone shouldn't mean typing URLs with your thumbs. RocketSim lets you send custom URL schemes and universal links to a connected device, then repeat the same navigation test from your Mac.

Team build times get messy when every Xcode project is judged by memory. RocketSim shows tracked projects in one Team Build Insights overview, so you can pick the project that deserves a deeper build performance pass.

Simulator recordings are easier to follow when taps are visible. RocketSim can show touch indicators in screenshots and videos, or keep the pointer visible during the whole demo with Touch Attention Mode. No more guessing where the tap happened.

Testing offline states does not have to take down your Mac's Wi-Fi. In RocketSim, you can switch the Simulator between 3G, Edge, 100% loss, or Airplane Mode from the Networking tab. Your browser stays online for docs.
