3D Touch shortcuts in the Simulator

SBShortcutMenuSimulator

SBShortcutMenuSimulator is a tweak for the iPhone Simulator that allows you to simulate the new UIApplicationShortcutItem API for iPhone with 3D Touch enabled.

Requirements

  • Xcode 7 GM or later, set as your default version of Xcode

Build

git clone https://github.com/DeskConnect/SBShortcutMenuSimulator.git
cd SBShortcutMenuSimulator
make

Note: If you installed SBShortcutMenuSimulator using the old method, go here and follow the uninstallation directions.

Usage

First, start SpringBoard with SBShortcutMenuSimulator enabled (run this from the cloned directory):

xcrun simctl spawn booted launchctl debug system/com.apple.SpringBoard --environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=$PWD/SBShortcutMenuSimulator.dylib
xcrun simctl spawn booted launchctl stop com.apple.SpringBoard

Now, to show an app’s quick action menu, send the app’s bundle identifier over TCP to port 8000. For example, running this command will show the shortcut menu for Calendar:

echo 'com.apple.mobilecal' | nc 127.0.0.1 8000
