Update for iOS 16

Not working properly in iOS 16 yet. dsdump seems to be crashing when running against the binaries in Xcode 14 beta 1, so need to get that fixed first.

App rejection with latest version

Thank you for this excellent project that I've been using for years.

Just wanted to let you know that I got a rejection from Apple (“Specifically, your 9.7-inch iPad screenshots display older IOS version in the status bar.”) with the version I cloned from the master branch yesterday.

(I’m not sure why the feedback specifically mentions 9.7" when I uploaded 12.9" screenshots.)

Non-public API usage warning

When attempting to upload my app to ITC, I received an email informing me:

Non-public API usage:
The app contains or inherits from non-public classes in Frameworks/SimulatorStatusMagiciOS.framework/SimulatorStatusMagiciOS: UIStatusBarServer

I've imported the SimulatorStatusMagic project, added SimulatorStatusMagiciOS.framework as an embedded binary. To ensure I don't include the framework in the submission, I only import the framework on the debug config, but I think I'm missing something...

Xcode 7.3 / simulator 9.3 not working

Got header from RuntimeBrowser, and struct are a little different for iOS 9.3 :

Add custom carrier support

On my screenshots I always have a custom carrier name (usually the company name I'm working for), something like

How about providing a method like

[ [SDStatusBarManager sharedInstance] overwriteCarrierName:(NSString *)carrierName];

If that's okay for you, I would provide a pull request for that feature.

Unable to set the time in iOS 17.

I am using the updated code on master.

Console still prints up
Unsupported use of UIStatusBarSever SPI outside of SpringBoard. Use System Status APIs instead.

I had a look over the #115 but still I wasn't able to set the time.
Are there any specific instructions for it?

I am using Xcode 15.

Clock fails to set on iPhone X

These two simulators are running the same app under iOS 11 and both have called SDStatusBarManager.sharedInstance().enableOverrides().

Remove all status bar items

E.g. useful when making launch images. we could memset boolitemIsEnabled to zero and nuke it!

memset(overrides->booloverrideItemIsEnabled, 1, sizeof(overrides->booloverrideItemIsEnabled));
memset(overrides->values.boolitemIsEnabled, 0, sizeof(overrides->values.boolitemIsEnabled));

Doesn't work in any ios 8.3 simulator

Works from XCode 6.3 in the 8.1 simulators, but not in the 8.3 simulators. Makes a black box show up on the header, doesn't update time, deosn't remove carrier name.

iOS 10.3

Unfortunately and quite expectedly - with iOS 10.3 it stopped working :(

Battery looks critically low in Xcode 9/iOS 11

Default status bar (I'm on a desktop Mac):

After running SDStatusBarManager.sharedInstance().enableOverrides():

The carrier bars are also semi-transparent, but I'm not sure if that's the default or not because I'm not running the iOS 11 beta on a device will cellular radios.

Non-English language support

How do you plan on supporting different simulator languages?

In other languages, it shows (null) instead of the time, because "9:41 AM" is not used in all other languages.

Before I make a pull request, I wanted to ask about your plans.

How about creating an NSDate using a timestamp, which works the same way in all countries and use that one to format the date?

On iPad with iOS 12, the status bar date can’t be overridden

It would be great if SimulatorStatusMagic could override or hide the iOS 12 status bar date.

Also: Thanks so much for your great work on SimulatorStatusMagic—I’ve been using it for a while and love it!

Status bar reverts upon pulling down Notification Center

Wed Sept 7, or Tue Jan 9?

Firstly, love this, thank you very much
I wanted to let you know that the linked page in the README, shows Wednesday September 7, as opposed to Tuesday January 9

Not sure what should be done about this, if anything, but wanted to let you know

Thanks

Thanks!

Automate running script for each simulator

Is there any way we can automate the script so that inject runs for each simulator, instead of running it manually for each result of xcrun <UDID>?

Broken link in README.md

In the section 'Does this work on device?', the link is broken with a 404 status: http://shinydevelopment.com/blog/status-magic-and-iphone6-screen-sizes/

Perhaps remove that link from the Readme?

I'd like to take this time to say great work on this project, thank you!

StatusBar not applied on iOS 13 Simulator

The status bar is not being applied on an iOS 13 simulator device. Xcode Version 11.0 (11A419c). The only thing that seems to work are the signal strength bars.

Not Working for iPhone XS Max

Hi,
Thanks for this amazing project.
I've been using your library around 1 year, and it's really helpful for me to create screenshots.

Apple just released the new products, and the most disgusting thing is that the iTunesConnect forces us to upload 6.5 inch screenshots and all previous 5.8 inch screenshots for iPhone X are gone and not supported. I tried your library with iPhone XS Max but it is not working. Hopefully you can fix it soon.

Thanks
Jeff

Adding it to automated XUITests?

I successfully managed it to have it working in the "Debug" configuration. For some reason, I am getting a runtime error while trying to run the xuitests:

The bundle “MyProjectUITests” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources. Try reinstalling the bundle.

Set the real time as host machine ?

Never mind,
reading the code a bit. figure it out.

Thank you again.

Today Widget Support

Currently the time on the Widget does not get changed also. I would appreciate if this can be added somehow.

5G

Will there be an update with 5G options? 4G is already a thing of the past in a lot of places.

Bug - black box appears in status bar

iPhone 6 simulator, sdk iOS 8.3

Thanks for great library!

Need help maintaining this, any volunteers?

I don't have a huge amount of time to maintain this project. Anyone up for helping on a more permanent basis?

@zwaldowski @kenji21 @CraigSiemens maybe? Since you've all submitted PRs with core upgrades for new OS versions in the past.

iOS 17 Support

It looks like iOS 17 has removed the UIStatusBarServerListener class which contains the override struct. It seems like the current approach used by SimulatorStatusMagic may have been eliminated in iOS 17. I'll take another stab at finding an alternative, but for now I'd say it's likely that iOS 16 will be the last version supported by SimulatorStatusMagic.

If anyone is interested in helping me investigate, you can dump the relevant iOS 17 headers by attaching the iOS 17 sim runtime at /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Images (for beta 2, it's 2A5F1E26-3761-41C2-87C1-6F8415AF2C63.dmg), and then use ipsw to dump the headers for UIKitCore:

ipsw macho info -a arm64 -o /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_21A5248u/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS\ 17.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/UIKitCore.framework/UIKitCore > ~/Desktop/uikitcore.txt

Apple's update to their API policy - Required Reason

Problem

Apple now requires all API calls covered by this ruleset (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=z6fu1dcu) to be declared within a privacy manifest file.

Feature Request

Certain APIs, used within your app's core functionality (either in your own code or third-party SDKs), could be misused to gather device data for fingerprinting purposes. This applies regardless of user tracking permissions. To ensure transparency, Apple requires developers to describe the reasons behind using these "Required Reason" APIs in their app's privacy manifest file. Additionally, verification is needed to confirm these APIs are only used for their intended purposes.

Use in React Native

Hi! You have a very useful tool. Do you know is it possible to use it in React Native?

I our RN-project we don't have Podfile or Xcode-project.

Thanks!

Integration with fastlane

I'm using fastlane to take my screenshots for different devices and locales on iOS 17.0.1. Do you think it can be possible to integrate SimulatorStatusMagic with fastlane somehow?
I've tried disabling the override_status_bar option in fastlane and running ./build_and_inject.sh booted before running fastlane and it seems to be working for a few screenshots, but not all.

Watch Simulator support

Would be really fantastic if an Apple Watch app were made available to do this. Simply get rid of everything except the time, and show "10:09" by default. :)

SimulatorStatusMagic for Swift code

SimulatorStatusMagic doesn't work for Swift project. Please help. What I did wrong?

See what I did below.

Podfile

pod 'SimulatorStatusMagic', '~> 1.7', :configurations => ['Debug', 'AdHoc']

Bridging-Header.h

#ifdef SNAPSHOT
    #import <SimulatorStatusMagic/SDStatusBarManager.h>
#endif

AppDelegate.swift

#if SNAPSHOT
    SDStatusBarManager.sharedInstance().enableOverrides()
#endif

As a Mobile Carrier, I would love to show LTE instead of WiFi icon

I believe only way is to overwrite respective resource (WiFi icon asset) inside iPhoneSimulator with image of 'LTE' text. Am I wrong?

Awesome Idea, can't get it to work as described

Hello. I am having an issue with this project in that I can't get the status bar to work as described.

Here are the steps:

1. Clone repo
2. Open project (Using Xcode 8.0, if I try to use < 8.0 I get an error about 'null' on storyboard)
3. Ensure SimulatorStatusMagic is selected app
4. Select iPhone 6s Plus
5. Build
6. Simulator correctly loads the app
7. I don't see any 'button' other than the 'Apply clean status ....'
8. I click the button
9. Open my project
10. Build my project, it now shows in simulator
11. I don't see the signal indicator nor is the time set to 9:41am (see attached screenshot)
12. If I hit hardware -> home then re-open the SimulatorStatusMagic text in upper left hand corner disappears, but still no signal indicator

What am I missing?

One final release before deprecation…

Since the work for iOS 13 has already been done by @cysp, and the product of that work is still needed (see #85) @kenji21 has suggested we do one final release of this project so this issue is to track that final merge.

Of course, knowing open-source projects they rarely go as intended and so I'd bet this isn't even nearly going to be the last merge! 😂

Custom clock is not horisontally centered

SF UI font is wider tha Helvetica, so my guess it that its position is being calculated based on the previous font. It's slight off center, to the right.

Uploading to App Store?

Hi! I'm using Simulator Status Magic on my React Native iOS app, and I got it working to some degree. I am also using Fastlane to automate my deployment. But I came across an issue where it's saying:

ERROR ITMS-90087: "Unsupported Architectures. The executable for ReactNativeWeb.app/Frameworks/SimulatorStatusMagiciOS.framework contains unsupported architectures '[x86_64, i386]'."
ERROR ITMS-90209: "Invalid Segment Alignment. The app binary at 'ReactNativeWeb.app/Frameworks/SimulatorStatusMagiciOS.framework/SimulatorStatusMagiciOS' does not have proper segment alignment. Try rebuilding the app with the latest Xcode version."

This only happens when I try to deploy, not when I run on simulator, or on device.

Steps I used to install SimulatorStatusMagic:

1. Download the source code and open the XCode project
2. Run the target SimulatorStatusMagicUniversalFramework which generates a universal framework for both device and simulator.
3. Drag and drop the generated framework into your project.
4. #import header into appDelegate
5. Obj-C code to enable/disable it
6. I also had to add the generated framework to Embedded Binaries in Xcode, otherwise, it wouldn't run.
7. Turned off bitcode on my target since the universal framework wasn't built with bitcode.

I know I don't need SimulatorStatusMagic to be included when I build for the app store, but I don't want to have to manually remove/add it every time I switch between creating screenshots and archiving. Any ideas on how to get this framework to play nicely in all circumstances?

Excluding from App Store builds with SPM

I don't know whether any of you saw this article from Toomas Vahter recently?

I wondered if it might solve the problem of SimulatorStatusMagic and release/App Store builds? It seems like it might. I'm opening this as an issue because it might make a good addition to the README file if it does indeed solve the problem.

Location icon

Is it possible to add a location icon to the status bar? I tried adding it myself but I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks!

Cocoapod spec requires ios 7.0

I was trying to install the SimulatorStatusMagic pod into a project that targets iOS 6.1, but got an error that it requires 7.0. The podspec in this repo says 6.0, but the Cocoapod spec seems to require 7.0. Hopefully 6.0 is supported and it just didn't get pushed up :]

CocoaPods Release

Any chance we could get a CocoaPods release for this? Seems like there have been some major changes in regards to Xcode 10 that need to be released on CocoaPods.
