Is there any way to see the file system on the iOS simulator?

Is there any way to browse the file system of a currently running or just killed iOS simulator? I'd settle for being a开发者_C百科ble to see a specific app's files if there's a way to do that.

Note that I don't want to do this programatically. I want to see/open the files in the Finder.


UPDATE: Since iOS 8:

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices

The location used to be:

~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator

It had directories for all models of simulators (4.0, 4.1, 5.0, etc) you have ever run, go to the one you are running from in Xcode.

Once in a folder, go to Applications, choose the Finder option that shows date for files, and sort by date. Your application will be the most recent since it just changed the directory...

Inside the directory is everything related to your application. You can even drop files in there between runs, to revert back to a stored database in a known state for example...

I go there often enough I keep the iPhone Simulator directory in my Finder sidebar.

Note that with iOS8, the simulator folders are in a totally different directory - really split across a few directories, with folder names for application specific files that change each time you run your app.

Devices

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices

Applications

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/{{Device Code}}/data/Containers/Bundle/


Easy. Fast. Xcode 10+.

  1. Use print(NSHomeDirectory()) and copy the path.
  2. Open Finder app and press Shift+Cmd+G
  3. Paste the copied path and press GO

Alternative for 1. is to catch a breakpoint and do po NSHomeDirectory() in console.


Open the program "Activity Monitor", search for your App (just the apps name, not the simulator), click "Informations" and open "Open files and ports". Copy the second entry (something like /Users/me/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/B97A9504-0FA5-4826-BB6D-A2335A676459/VSGradientView.app/YourApp). This is the running app, while <...>/B97A9504-0FA5-4826-BB6D-A2335A676459/VSGradientView.app/ is the bundle, and <...>/B97A9504-0FA5-4826-BB6D-A2335A676459/* the sand-boxed folder.

If you pass this as open "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/B97A9504-0FA5-4826-BB6D-A2335A676459/" to the terminal, the folder will open in Finder.

Sounds complicated but isn't.

Solution 1

Run the following line in the terminal

Template

open `xcrun simctl get_app_container booted BUNDLEID_OF_YOUR_APP data` -a Finder

Full Sample

open `xcrun simctl get_app_container booted com.Test data` -a Finder

BUNDLEID_OF_YOUR_APP ???

BUNDLEID_OF_YOUR_APP = "Bundle Identifier"

Features of the solution 1

  • open file to get app simulator directory

Solution 2

Create a bash scrip with a name of your app and code:

script_file_name = `basename "$0"`
open `xcrun simctl get_app_container booted $script_file_name data`

Features of the solution 2

  • open file to get app simulator directory
  • rename file to get another app simulator directory

If you want to automate getting the location or use that folder in scripting, you can get the precise location from a running simulator with the following command:

xcrun simctl get_app_container booted my.app.id data


There is a nifty app that also supports the XCode 6 simulator.

It is awesome, use it!


For Swift 4.2 and higher, print an easy to use path:

#if targetEnvironment(simulator)
    print("::::: SIMULATOR :::::")
    if let documentsPath = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first?.path {
        print("App Documents Directory:\n\(documentsPath)\n")
    }
#endif

... in a source code location such as:

func application(
    _ application: UIApplication, 
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
    // ...
    return true
}

Use the resulting path with cd or open on the terminal command line. Or, paste the path in the shift-cmd-G "Go To Folder…" Finder prompt.

first, get simulator list with device ID from terminal

  1. instruments -s devices
  2. xcrun simctl list

Then go put device id below path. you will be get specific simulator file system ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/{{deviceID}}


Old post, but I think it is worth mentioning SimPholders to find your Simulator files. It is a menu bar item that tracks your simulator apps and lets you go directly to their folders and content. It's super awesome.

Based on @zsero answer, I made a short bash script which directly opens the simulator folder of your application id. Very handy!

openappfolder.sh

#!/bin/bash

APPID=$1
if OUTPUT=`xcrun simctl get_app_container booted $APPID data` ; then
    open $OUTPUT
else
    echo "$APPID not found!"
fi 2>/dev/null

Then just

openappfolder.sh com.bundle.id
