We can't test our apps in iPhone X simulator from Animate CC 2017 and AIR 27 BETA, someone told me that AIR doens't makes something 64-bit or something (sorry for my poor explanation..), thing is, how could we test this?

As I've only worked with Animate and AIR, I don't know other ways to put .app on simulator than straight from Animate option "test in iOS simulator"

thanks!

    So SDK 28 fix this, but in XCode 9, when I send the app to test it in the iOS simulator, it opens with iPhone  and when I choose another device from menu, it opnes a new one, but the iPhone 6 is the only one with the app in it!

    How can I change the device? I'm only using Animate 2018 an dSDK 28

    thanks

    Hi,

    You can use command line to install and launch your app on iPhone X simulator. Please refer this page for the steps to be followed: Adobe AIR * Device simulation using the iOS Simulator .

    Use the command:

    export AIR_IOS_SIMULATOR_DEVICE = 'iPhone X' for using iPhone X simulator.

    Thanks,

    I'm on macOS 10.13.1 and when I run:

    export AIR_IOS_SIMULATOR_DEVICE = 'iPhone X'

    I get:

    -bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier

    -bash: export: `iPhone X': not a valid identifier

    Where does that command need to go, or how do I use it?  Seems to have no effect. 

    I've also tried:

    export AIR_IOS_SIMULATOR_DEVICE = 'iPhone X'

    which seems to set the environment variable, but it has no effect as when I build and install, it still launches on default iPhone 6 device...

    Help?

    Adobe need to update simulator builds from 32bit to 64bit as XCode Simulator now only supports 64bit

    In the meantime you could try a remote device testing lab such as offered by browserstack.
