How to use dark mode in iOS simulator?


While I am developing the iOS app I need to test it in simulator with dark mode option so I can get more clarity about the app UI. But when I go to the Setting I am not getting option for dark mode as real device showing.


Solution

  • In Settings, scroll down to Developer and then Dark Appearance

    Update

    In addition to the above, there are now many other ways to enable dark appearance in the simulator, as shown in the many great answers below.
