Documentation on how to compile for the iOS Simulator to take screenshots

npm i -g cordova-cli

npm i -g ionic

Install phonegap

Download the source files from https://myapppresser.com/ by going to your App Dashboard and clicking General -> Download latest build ZIP

phonegap create ./app-directory

Then copy in your files that you downloaded above.

The files

• config.xml
• icon.png
• splash.png
• app-data.json

Should all go to the root. Everything else goes under ./www

Replace/Overwrite as necessary.

Make sure that all the file paths in config.xml match up with what they should. You will likely need to update them.

Double check the Plugin entry for cordova-sqlite-evcore-extbuild-free to ensure it isn’t trying to use a Git Repository. It should be updated to <plugin source="npm" name="cordova-sqlite-evcore-extbuild-free" spec="0.9.10" ></plugin> or something similar to prevent errors.

Run cordova build ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0" to build the Application. It should appear under ./platforms/ios/build/emulator/ as a .app file.

Run the iOS Simulator and open your desired Hardware Type (Likely iPhone 6s Plus for 5.5”, iPhone Xs Max for 6.5”, and iPad Pro (2nd Gen) and iPad Pro (3rd Gen) for both for 12.9” options) and drag-and-drop the .app file into the window after it has loaded to install the application.
