How to create iOS Simulator build?

Unity Services
1

hi,

Is it possible to use UCB too create an iOS simulator build?
I’ve tried setting in my project settings the build type to ‘simulator’, but it appears cloud build still produces a device based build.

Any way to get this to work?

I’m bumping this because this would be a valuable feature. I’ve attempted using a Pre-Export Build Method to call something like

PlayerSettings.iOS.sdkVersion = iOSSdkVersion.SimulatorSDK;

but the build fails. What’s the status of this work?

Hi @thecloudkeeper thanks for flagging. No immediate plans on the roadmap but thanks for letting us know you’d like to see this bumped up in priority.

Hi folks, this is a feature that we would need as well. Tried the same as described above but still receiving a build error here also in the Unity 2020 LTS version:

[...]

Any updates on when this feature could be on the roadmap?
