How to test iPad retina app with simulator on 13 inch Macbook Pro?

Question

Even at 50% scale and with my resolution at max, I can't see the whole ipad simulator window on my 13 inch Macbook Pro. Any way to zoom it out more?

Answer 1

I found a somewhat usable workaround: set the zoom to 100%, then you can scroll around to see the whole screen. You can't scroll to off-monitor portions of the screen at 50 or 25%.

Answer 2

Sorry but not possible, I'm on a 13 inch Air and have the same problem. Considering this is the minimum allowed zoom on the simulator, you'll just have to stick with the non-retina simulator.

Answer 3

they did add a 25% option in 4.5.2 it seems however you would still have to scroll to view the ipad retina screen when rotated to portrait. It would be nice if they made the minimum even lower like 5% in steps of 5%.
