Should Photo Extensions work in iOS simulators?

When I:

  1. open an existing project
  2. create a new PhotoExtensions target
  3. run the new target in an iOS simulator (eg iPhone 15, iOS 17.0)
  4. Select photos as the app to run
  5. Open a photo
  6. Tap the ... button at the top right

I see: Copy, Duplicate, Hide, etc. But I do not see my new Extension. Is there something else I need to be doing in order to see my new Extension in 'action'?

Hello,

I am assuming you are talking about a "Photo Editing Extension". Your set of steps worked for me, I saw the template extension's "Hello world." text in Simulator.

  • Hello gchiste, your assumption is correct. I was referring to a "Photo Editing Extension" I still do not see my extension when I follow the above steps, however I do see it when I follow these steps:

    run my new 'empty' PhotoEditingExtension target in an iOS simulatorselect photos as the app to runopen a phototap 'Edit'tap the ... button in the Edit view

    Following the above steps no a physical device I don't see my extension in the Options bottom sheet :-(
