Hide iOS Home Indicator on Storyboard in Xcode Interface Builder?-CodePudding

I'm designing a View / View Controller in a Storyboard using Xcode 13 Interface Builder.

I've set the VC's "Simulated Size" to "Freeform" and reduced the height. This hides the upper "notch" and hides the iPhone hardware mask surrounding the view.

But the view is still showing the iPhone X -style home indicator bar at the bottom.

None of the various options in the "Simulated Metrics" of Size, Top Bar, Bottom Bar, and Appearance hide the multitasking indicator.

How can I hide that black bar on my view in the Storyboard?

Note: I just want to hide the indicator at design time in Interface Builder.

Hiding the indicator at runtime is discussed here: iPhone X hide home indicator on view controller

CodePudding user response：

After setting "Simulated Size" to "Freeform," just navigate to another file, then come back.

If that doesn't work, try closing and reopening your project or restarting Xcode.

Probably an Xcode bug, but this forces a refresh.
