A tweak for the iPhone Simulator that simulates the UIApplicationShortcutItem API for 3D Touch home screen quick actions. It lets developers trigger an app's shortcut menu in the Simulator without a physical 3D Touch device.

Use cases

  • test 3D Touch quick action menus in the iOS Simulator
  • simulate UIApplicationShortcutItem home screen shortcuts without a physical device
  • trigger an app's shortcut menu by sending its bundle ID over TCP
  • develop and debug home screen quick actions on a Mac
  • preview shortcut menus during iOS app development

When to choose

  • you need to test 3D Touch home screen shortcuts and lack a 3D Touch-capable device
  • you want to iterate quickly on quick action menus using the Simulator

When to avoid

  • you target modern iOS where 3D Touch was replaced by context menus and long-press gestures
  • you need testing on real hardware or newer Xcode/Simulator versions
  • you want an actively maintained tool
