Hello fellow iOS Developers!

I've just got my M1 MacBook Pro and been loving how we can test our Apps without even using our mobile devices (props to Apple!!)

So far, I was able to test the app behaviour as it was for iPad (Running "Designed for iPad"), so I wonder if there's a way to build the app as if it was for an iPhone and run it on the M1? This would be awesome!

I've just got my m1 air and had this same question, short answer is no I believe other that removing iPad.

Targets > Target > General > Deployment Info > macOs - check Mac and you will get the dropdown to select "Scale Interface to match iPad" or "Optimise interface for Mac"
