Deprecations in AppleSimulatorUtils

As of January 2024, we've identified overlapping functionalities between AppleSimulatorUtils and xcrun simctl command in the latest Command Line Tools for Xcode. This has led to the deprecation of several commands in AppleSimulatorUtils.

For detailed usage of the xcrun simctl command, run xcrun simctl --help.

Deprecated Commands

The commands listed below are now deprecated in AppleSimulatorUtils, and can be replaced with corresponding xcrun simctl commands:

--setPermissions Options

The following --setPermissions options in AppleSimulatorUtils are deprecated and can be replaced with corresponding xcrun simctl privacy commands:

  • calendar
  • contacts
  • location
  • photos
  • medialibrary (Use media-library in xcrun simctl privacy)
  • microphone
  • motion
  • reminders
  • siri

For detailed usage of the simctl privacy commands, run xcrun simctl privacy --help.

--setLocation Command

The --setLocation command is deprecated. Use xcrun simctl location instead.

For detailed usage of the location command, run xcrun simctl location --help.

Additional Notes

While most of the deprecated commands are still available and function in AppleSimulatorUtils, some may show regressions (especially in newer versions of iOS and Xcode).

If you encounter any issues, the recommended solution is to use xcrun simctl instead, as it is more up-to-date and maintained by Apple.

We will continue to maintain AppleSimulatorUtils for non-overlapping functionalities only.
