What is the purpose of selecting ‘build for xcode simulator’ in the ios environment ? [import]uid: 31039 topic_id: 12913 reply_id: 312913[/import]
some features such as edit controls are not possible in the corona simulator, using the xcode simulator you can see them in there.
also, using the xcode simulator you can grab a crash log or a dumplog as well.
another feature is mapview - that you will need xcode simulator to see it in action. does not preview on the corona simulator.

The xCode simulator is a better/more accurate representation of the app running on the device. Things like the TextBox, WebPopups, AlertBoxes, MapView, etc are all visible on the xCode simulator where as they are no on the Corona Simulator.
THe way Corona Simulator is designed, it can quickly change to various devices, iOS or Android and hence misses out on the specific features, which you can test using the xCode simulator, hope that made sense,
cheers,

Text input! That’s my favorite thing about the Xcode simulator; you don’t have to build for device to test, just Xcode, which is much more convenient. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 12913 reply_id: 47678[/import]
