how to load the photos and videos to Iphone Simulator 4.0

Question

Hi,

Is there any way to load the photos and videos into the IPhone Simulator 4.0. 

Best Regards,

Mohammed Sadiq.

Answer 1

Yes, a big change, i've tried almost everything, copying folders, 100Apple, in DCIM, dragging and saving, etc... nothing works, on iPad simulator is very easy, but not with iPhone Simulator 4.0.

Answer 2

Saving the photos from Safari still works on iPhone Simulator 4.0, though has some glitches. Maybe something like you need not to hurry to make sure that Safari saves the photo, etc.

Also it looks like there is slight delay before Photos updates the list of photos available.

Answer 3

The trick is:

• Quit the sim
• Use the Finder to add photos to the .../iPhone Simulator/4.0.1/Media/DCIM/100APPLE folder
• Delete the /iPhone Simulator/4.0.1/Media/PhotoData folder
• Re-launch the sim and open Photos. It should rebuild your photo index from the contents of the DCIM folder.

Answer 4

If you need to import more than just one or two photos then take a look at this article that I wrote. It describes an easy way to perform a bulk import of photos and works for iOS 4.x.
