I am trying to debug and run the app on apple watch simulator. I have tried by using different target for notification, Glance and Watch app but apple simulator don't shows any thing. It stuck in waiting for attach process of extension. You can now see the project run on your iPhone simulator, but you will get a simple screen, as illustrated below: We also have a similar simulator for Apple Watch, which we will look at later. For now, we just have a simple iPhone app so we can use it as a vessel for demonstrating our Apple Watch app. So how does this all work?

The Remoted iOS Simulator for Windows allows you to test your apps on aniOS simulator displayed in Windows alongside Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio 2017.

Getting started

The Remoted iOS Simulator for Windows is installed automatically as partof Xamarin in Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio 2017. To use it, follow these steps:

  1. Pair Visual Studio 2019 to a Mac Build host.
  2. In Visual Studio, start debugging an iOS or tvOS project. TheRemoted iOS Simulator for Windows will appear on your Windows machine.

Watch this video for a step-by-step guide.

Simulator window

The toolbar at the top of the simulator's window contains a number of useful buttons:

  • Home – Simulates the home button on an iOS device.

  • Lock – Locks the simulator (swipe to unlock).

  • Screenshot – Saves a screenshot of the simulator (stored in PicturesXamariniOS Simulator).

  • Settings – Displays keyboard, location, and other settings.

  • Other options – Brings up various simulator options such as rotation, shake gestures, and Touch ID.

These settings allow you to enable the hardware keyboard, choose alocation that the device should report (static and moving locations areboth supported), enable Touch ID, and reset the content and settings forthe simulator.

Other options

The toolbar's ellipsis button reveals other options such as rotation,shake gestures, and rebooting. These same options can be viewed as a listby right-clicking anywhere in the simulator's window:

Touchscreen support

Most modern Windows computers have touch screens. Since the Remoted iOSSimulator for Windows supports touch interactions, you can test your appwith the same pinch, swipe, and multi-finger touch gestures that you usewith physical iOS devices.

Similarly, the Remoted iOS Simulator for Windows treats Windows Stylusinput as Apple Pencil input.

Sound handling

Sounds played by the simulator will come from the host Mac's speakers.iOS sounds are not heard on the Windows computer.

Disabling the Remoted iOS Simulator for Windows

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the Remoted iOS Simulator, you can view the logs in these locations:

  • Mac~/Library/Logs/Xamarin/Simulator.Server
  • Windows%LOCALAPPDATA%XamarinLogsXamarin.Simulator

If you report a problem in Visual Studio, attaching these logs might be helpful (there are options to keep uploads private).
