Where to get 5.5 inch iPhone screenshots for submission

Mandatory screen sizes are :

• 6.5", for instance iPhone 11 Pro Max
• 5.5", for instance iPhone 8 plus
• 12.9", iPad 5G or 6G
• 12.9", iPad 2G

All those simulators are available in Xcode 14, or can be added. I copy a screen shot showing all simulators in Xcode 14, and more may be added:

In Xcode, click the "Window" menu, then "Devices & Simulators". In the "Simulators" tab, click the plus sign at the bottom left. You can pick "iPhone 8 Plus" from the list.

Do we have any options for someone who are using third party sites like Thunkable and don't have xcode? I'm having hard time finding stimulators for the same reason described above.

You can also try this for getting the iPhone 8 Plus installed: When you create the simulator, if you tap on "OS Version" there is a drop down for "Download simulator runtimes", (which takes you to the "Platforms" settings screen, there is a little "+" icon there select "iOS" and from there you can install iOS 14.3 (which is 5GB) or another iOS version if you like, so your iPhone 8 Plus can run on that instead.
The don't make all of these buried drop-down screens with the little "+" icons easy to discover...

If someone at Apple is reading this, in 2023 it's a nonsense to force developers downloading a 5GB simulator just to make a screenshot that is mandatory for submitting the App on the AppStore. It makes things unnecessarily complicated.

I'm on the same boat. My app has minimal requirement of iOS17 and iPhone 8 Plus doesn't even support anything beyond iOS16

Those who are looking for a solution, try to run app on iPhone SE 3rd Generation and then resize the screenshot to 1242 x 2208px. Hope this helps.

iOS 17 and iPhone 8 Screenshots... Any solution for this?

Do you know a tool that is able to generate the various sizes starting from a single upload of each screenshot?

Apple must to correct his docs! https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/screenshot-specifications They write: 5.5" Display -> 1242 x 2208 pixels (portrait) iPhone 8 Plus iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 6s Plus

Running simulator with iPhone 8 Plus screenshot have resolution 1125 x 2436 !!! :(

They are crazy !! Is there a simulator that create screenshot that they want ?? Incredible..

Seriously no update on this? I spent the last 45 minutes just trying to find the right device for the emulator and there aren't any?

1. What

I dont have an answer and don't know how to generate 5.5" screenshots. However, Apple clarified that those are needed :(

Per @jakir.me recommendation to use iPhone SE 3rd generation and then resizing it, you can use this Figma template to help you do the resizing. Figma is free and you just need to drag and drop the image and resize it to fit the template frame and that's it.

Happy publishing to app store all 🙌

Try this:

Use the iPhone SE simulator and make a screenshot. Then use the ImageMagic convert in a Terminal window:

convert Simulator\ Screenshot\ -\ iPhone\ SE\ \(3rd\ generation\)\ -\ 2024-01-06\ at\ 10.24.40.png -resize 1242x2209 -crop 1242x2208+0+0  01-5.5.png
