Is there any way to see the file system on the iOS simulator?

Question

Is there any way to browse the file system of a currently running or just killed iOS simulator? I\'d settle for being able to see a specific app\'s files if there\'s a way t

Answer 1

For Swift 4.2 and higher, print an easy to use path:

#if targetEnvironment(simulator)
    print("::::: SIMULATOR :::::")
    if let documentsPath = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first?.path {
        print("App Documents Directory:\n\(documentsPath)\n")
    }
#endif

... in a source code location such as:

func application(
    _ application: UIApplication, 
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
    // ...
    return true
}

Use the resulting path with cd or open on the terminal command line. Or, paste the path in the shift-cmd-G "Go To Folder…" Finder prompt.
