SimulatorStatusMagic modifies the iOS Simulator's status bar to show a perfect, Apple-marketing-style state (9:41 AM, full battery, full signal) for taking clean screenshots. It works via a Swift package for UI tests, a demo app, and a Springboard injection script for iOS 17+.
Use cases
- take perfect App Store screenshots on the iOS simulator
- show 9:41 AM and full battery in simulator status bar
- automate screenshot generation in Xcode UI tests
- override simulator status bar time and battery
- clean up status bar for app marketing screenshots
- localized date and time in simulator status bar
When to choose
- you need pixel-perfect status bars matching Apple's marketing images
- you need localized date/time strings that simctl status_bar lacks
- you automate screenshots via UI tests on iOS 16 or lower
- you target iOS 17+ and can use the Springboard injection script
When to avoid
- xcrun simctl status_bar covers your needs on modern Xcode
- you need to modify status bars on physical devices
- you work outside the Apple/iOS ecosystem
