How to drag the iphoneX simulator?


When moving the iPhoneX simulator I have tried clicking and dragging at the top, bottom and both sides and even all the corners but sometimes it works and other times it does not.

Why is this so random?

Where is there best place to click seeing as though there is no discernible bar like in other Mac applications

Putting this question up because it has been frustrating me for ages and maybe it will alleviate someone else's stress out there in dev-land.


Solution

  • So trick question actually because you can click and drag from anywhere, BUT the trick is dragging in the direction away from the simulator first then you can drag it wherever you like.

    The problem here is when you click and drag towards the screen first it gets picked up as a swipe event. Thats what you want to avoid.
