iOS Devs: Device Hub misses a lot of features compared to Xcode's Simulator. For example: a shortcut to shake the device. Missing more features? Reply, and I'll see what I can do!

My last few weeks: battling Xcode 27 with agentic support for RocketSim, testing in Codex, Cursor, Claude, while Device Hub replaces the Simulator, bringing all kinds of edge cases 🙈 My developer tools are getting better, but it's a long road. Thanks for all your feedback & support along the way!

Disabling background daemons a simulator doesn't need is a smart trick to reduce memory pressure. Some devs consider this useful for regular development instead of only CI, but watch out: unexpected behavior could be caused by this (so I'm not yet doing this!) github.com/MobAI-App/si...
