Now the application is building my application on the device and then the device, or the simulator, will start and then install the application on the device. This is a simulator, so you can choose which simulator you want to run your application with.Īlso, you can 'Download Simulators' or 'Add Additional Simulators', and you will be able to click on the one you don't have - for example, 'iOS 14.3 Simulator' - enter your password, and then the download will start.Īfter it's finished, I can use it, but we can select any version that is already installed.įor example, I can select iPhone 12 version 14.4 - iPhone 12 is the hardware and the OS version is 14.4, and then I can click on 'Play' or 'Run' this application. So I've already opened an application - the to-do list application - which will be used as an example for an iOS application and from here, I can click on 'Devices'. I will log in, and I can go to 'Downloads' and I can have the Xcode 12.5 beta version or I can check the release notes, or I can check the previous version of Xcode.

Here, under 'Account', I can log in if I already have an account or if I don't, I can create a free Apple account to be able to download the certificate or the signing profile with Apple and to be able to use it with a real device. I will search for an 'apple developer account' which will direct me to the Apple Developer website. This is also required to be able to use Appium with a real device. If you want a previous version or a specific version with Xcode, you should have a developer account. The next tool that we want to install is Xcode to be able to use the iOS simulators with Appium.įrom the App Store menu, you just can click on the 'Develop' category in the applications and here you can find that Xcode is already installed with the latest version Xcode 12.4.
