Xcode 14 and iOS 5.5 simulators

Time:11-02

After updating to Xcode 14 with iOS 16, I'm not seeing any 5.5 devices - makes sense, as Xcode simulators only seem to support one iOS, and none of the 5.5 devices (for instance iPhone 8 Plus) run iOS 16.

However, 5.5 screenshots are still mandatory for the App store. So how do I create these screenshots? The solutions I can think of are these

  1. Using physical 5.5 device like iPhone 8 Plus (I don't have one)
  2. Downgrade Xcode to version 13 in order to support iOS 15. I would very much like to avoid this, besides some of my Mac setup is Virtual and I am not in control of the Xcode version)

  1. Go to Window
  2. Select `Devices and Simulators
  3. Click on the plus button in the bottom left corner.
  4. Click on OS Version dropdown
  5. Select Download more simulator runtimes
  6. Click on the plus button in the bottom left corner.
  7. Select iOS
  8. Select the desired iOS version and wait for the download.
  9. Now, you can create a desired simulator with the desired iOS.

Remember, you can generate your screenshots based on the device size! and no need for specific simulator by the way.
