Can i test accelerometer effect in Xcode simulator?

Question

I am working on an app that manages the alpha property of image views. Alpha property can increase/decrease as the user moves the phone. I saw something on here about using a subclass of UIAccelerometer. Can anyone help me to do this so that I can test it on simulator? Thanks

Solution 1

Yo cant test it using simulator, you should use real device for testing accelerometer. Check here, it may help you.

Solution 2

You can "capture" accelerometer data coming from a real device.

You can purchase iSimulate

You can't test Accelerometer feature on Xcode simulator.

For this, see following on apple's site.
