how to run an iOS simulator that has a control center int it on Xcode 12.4?

Question

while debugging on simulators operating on iOS 13.1, 14.4 I can't use the control center of the simulator, it always shows a blank screen when I swipe from top of the screen to bottom.

after some googling, I found some answers suggesting to use simulators operating on iOS 10.3.1

I am using Xcode 12.4, and I downloaded simulator 10.3.1 but its not showing in installing list when I try to add additional simulators,

and in Xcode release notes I saw that Xcode 12.4 supports iOS simulators from 10.3.1 to 14.4

so my question is:

how can use a simulator that has a control center in it while developing on Xcode 12.4

any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You can't do it. Simulators do not have control center "widgets". You can bring down the control center sheet, which is a good test of what your app does when deactivated; but it is blank, as you say.

I cannot imagine what sort of test you would need actual "widgets" for, but if you want those, test on a device.
