Xcode安装之后,simctl可以通过xcrun命令来执行。
你可以通过直接输入xcrun simctl
来查看它支持的作用。
usage: simctl [--set ] [--profiles ] ...
simctl help [subcommand]
Command line utility to control the Simulator。
通过这个命令可以方便地控制模拟器。
管理设备xcrun simctl list
通过运行xcrun simctl list
可以获取到当前可用的设备列表,包括设备类型、设备系统版本、设备名称、设备UUID,运行状态等信息。
每个设备都有一个独一无二的UUID,这个是其他simctl
子命令需要的参数
For subcommands that require a argument, you may specify a device UDID
or the special "booted" string which will cause simctl to pick a booted device.
If multiple devices are booted when the "booted" device is selected, simctl
will choose one of them.
因为部分子命令需要 设备参数,你可以通过指定设备的UUID或booted
让命令自行选中一个已经启动的设备。如果多个模拟器已经启动,simctl将选择其中的一个。
启动模拟器 xcrun simctl boot $UUID
用来启动模拟器,其中的UUID参数就是之前列表中的UUID。
既然有启动模拟器,自然也就有关闭模拟器xcrun simctl shutdown $UUID
、重置模拟器xcrun simctl erase $UUID
清理不可用的模拟器 xcrun simctl delete unavailable
当Mac空间不够用时,这条命令或许可以帮你重获不是磁盘空间。
在模拟器与Mac设备之间进行复制&粘贴pbcopy
& pbpaste
-
pbcopy
复制内容到Mac设备的剪贴板 -
pbpaste
将 Mac设备的剪贴板的内容进行粘贴 -
xcrun simctl pbcopy booted
将Mac设备中剪贴板上的内容复制到模拟器上的剪贴板上 【方向:Mac=》模拟器】 -
xcrun simctl pbpaste booted
将模拟器中剪贴板上的内容复制到Mac设备上的剪贴板上 【方向:模拟器=》Mac】 -
xcrun simctl pbsync sourceDevice destDevice
将source设备中剪贴板上的内容同步到dest设备上的剪贴板上 【方向:source《=》dest】,其中可以用 host 表示Mac设备
模拟器截屏 xcrun simctl io booted screenshot app-screenshot.png
模拟器录屏 xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo app-preview.mp4
执行命令后,录制完成时"Ctrl + C"结束,这个时候到指定位置找响应的视频文件即可
设置模拟器位置
指定UUID的数据目录~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/
,
模拟器偏好文件位于data/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
,里面包含许多设置,
可以通过plutil
命令来查看,具体如下:
plutil -p ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/$UUID/data/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
同样,修改也是通过plutil
来实现,示例如下:
PLIST=~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/$UUID/data/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
LANGUAGE="ja"
LOCALE="ja_JP"
plutil -replace AppleLocale -string $LOCALE $PLIST
plutil -replace AppleLanguages -json "[ \"$LANGUAGE\" ]" $PLIST
更多功能可以通过plutil -h
来查看
