Hi I've downloaded the latest version of Xcode 14.2 but when I run the app in Simulator I can only test it on iOS16.2 Is there a way to run it in 16.3?
iOS 16.3 in Simulator
doesn't look like there is a new Xcode for that release - no new beta atm, I don't think Apple release updated Xcode every time there is a new iOS released my understanding is, 16.3 doesn't different that much from 16.2 in terms of running the app on the sim
Would be nice to have iOS 16.3 Simulators as there may be an issue in 16.2 related to apps made with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Maui Blazor. When we test such apps using simulators from Xcode 14.2 (iOS 16.2 simulators), we get a blank screen for the app UI. But when we test on actual device which has iOS 16.3, the app works fine. Here is the issue reported in a Maui github thread: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/12124
I think they're lazy at work. I have an app and it works fine when tested on 16.2 and 16.4. However, the app was rejected because an error occurred in iPad 16.3. The simulator does not provide that version. For just a few tests, Apple forces me to buy an iPad. XD One of the reasons why IOS is compared to Android. I hope it gets better soon.
One feature of my app is consistently crashing on 16.3.1 and the crash manifests as a device "reset" so there are no logs or crash reports.
A simulator would be extremely valuable for cases like this. Everything appears to be good on 16.4 and 15.5. I don't want to attach the device to Xcode because I try to use it solely for TestFlight installs in order to ensure that foundational updates to the app are sequentially installed and tested. In all likelihood, I'll have to upgrade the o/s earlier than I would like, in order to confirm that the issue is specific 16.3.1 and not to the device itself.
I hate not identifying a root cause because it's almost guaranteed that the issue will raise it's head again in the future and potentially be even more critical.
