How to take screenshot when you don't have the device

I am uploading an app for review, but it requires several screenshots for devices I don't have. I've tried using xcode but I am not a developer and therefore don't know how to rebuild the app inside it. I have no idea what to do!

Do you know how to run app on simulator ?

You need to have the code to do it.

Then select each simulator one after one (as needed per size requested in Appstore).

Go to the page.

Cmd-S will get the screenshot.

It sounds like your tasks are:

  • Open the project in Xcode
  • Run it on a Simulator
  • From the Simulator, take the screenshots you need

You could make it easier for people to help you, by posting some more information:

  • What platform does the app run on (e.g. macOS, tvOS, watchOS, iOS, iPadOS)?
  • How was the app developed (e.g. Xcode project using Swift, or...)?
  • Can you successfully open the project in Xcode?

Thanks guys, I think I need to get the source code as I only have access to an ipa file (it was an App created by Buddyboss). When I create a new project it has all of my registered builds (currently on Appstore Connect) listed, but I can't open them.

I'll have to get them to sort it!
