iOS simulator - How can I make default simulator as iPhone

Question

I downloaded latest XCode with iOS 4.2 version. When I'm testing any app in simulator, its running in ipad simulator by default. How can I make my simulator default to iPhone.

Answer 1

Solution#1

You can remove the iPad from the organizer. I haven't tried it, since I use both iPhone and iPad.

Solution#2

Create a keyboard shortcut to switch to to the iPhone simulator

top menu > Project > Set Active Executable > Targetname - iPhone Simulator

See these screenshots

Answer 2

I hope this is what you're looking for, but in the top left of XCode, you should see a drop down bar that reads something like "Simulator - 4.2 | Debug | projName". If you click on that, you should see a section titled "Active Executable". There should be a small number of options to select the device and OS for the simulator. For instance, mine is currently selected to "projName - iPhone Simulator 4.2"

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

The simplest solution to this is simply to change your active executable. Go to project -> set active executable -> iPhone whatever version you want

Answer 6

I finally solved this problem myself.

First, install new version of xCode, which is xCode 4.

Then set project scheme to iphone simulator and run app in xCode several times.

And re-install xCode 3 and the problem will be gone away!
