How to change time and timezone in iPhone simulator?

Question

How do I change time and time zone in the iPhone simulator?

Answer 1

You can set the TZ environment variable in an Xcode Scheme to set the time zone just for that app.

You can use UTC, PST, EST, as well as place-based timezone names such as America/Los_Angeles. It's not well documented, but I suspect any time zone name should work.

It's not well documented, but the source is an Apple Developer Support rep on the developer forums.
