  • One use is for replacing the skin of the "iPhone (Retina)" skin -- which currently displays an iPad, for some reason -- with an iPhone skin, useful when creating demo videos at higher-than-standard resolution.

    There is actually a very good reason for doing this. The default skin surrounds a black screen area with a black border, which is manifestly stupid for a debug / development environment.

You can look into the iOS-Simulator package. In Contents/Ressources you will find frame.png which you can edit.



I have no idea why you would want to do that, though. :-)

Apparently yes (it was news to me until I searched). See this link about making new graphics for the simulator. Can't imagine why you'd want to though ...

      Here is a minimalistic skin:



      https://plus.google.com/u/0/115321914207029284487/posts/gcqBJej1g4R



      It has very thin border, it is semitransparent and hasn't home button, instead use CMD+SHIFT+H shortcut.

        Guess It's No Longer Exist For XCode 10 And Above, The Skin Now Is Located At:



        Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Chrome/phone.simdevicechrome/Contents/Resources



        There Is No One PNG File For The Skin Instead Several Pieces Of The Skin Puzzle Would Be Presented Into Multiple PDF Files (Buttons, Corners, ...etc.)



        BTW The Skin Simulators For The Watch and The AppleTV is Using Same Path Except You Change The iPhoneOS.platform to AppleTVOS.platform Or WatchOS.platform

                                Guess It's No Longer Exist For XCode 10 And Above, The Skin Now Is Located At:



                                Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Chrome/phone.simdevicechrome/Contents/Resources



                                There Is No One PNG File For The Skin Instead Several Pieces Of The Skin Puzzle Would Be Presented Into Multiple PDF Files (Buttons, Corners, ...etc.)
