Hi, does anybody know why my iphone simulator cannot connect to the internet?
I understand it should, my computer is connected and I have allowed access through little snitch
Any help would be appreciated
Which version simulator & Xcode?
xcode 3.2.6 and simulator Version 4.3
There should be no particular issue with that example.
Can you provide details on your process and app and any errors related to failure, etc.
I have not started to do anything yet, only installed it today and went to look at a mobile site I made and got the message " cannot open page Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server" ?
I'm not sure what you're actually doing, but the simulator is not an emulator.
It's just your computer - if you connect to a mobile-specific site, that site will think you're trying to connect from your computer and not respond with mobile-specific configured content.
You're likely to run into an endless list of things you don't understand during your initial exposure to Apple's IDE.
Start here:
Sorry if I have not been clear, I am new to this and I am reading all the documentation I can.
I have designed a few mobile websites and just out of curiosity I decided to look at them using the simulator, going directly to the mobile URL but as I said I get a message saying " cannot open page.. Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server"
also I cannot connect to the sites in the simulators bookmarks folder Apple, Google ect
So I have come to the conclusion this does not connect to the internet, when I googled this problem I have found everybody else has the reverse problem, lots of developers seem to want to disconnect it (why I don't know)
I was thinking little snitch may be the problem, so I allowed access and still I get the same error
If you're just doing this to check your website, there are other websites that will do that job for you, without needing Xcode, simulator, etc.
If you wish to genuinely and reliably test and verify your site otherwise, you should use an iOS device, of course.
As it is, I agree that something particular to your computer may be the problem, which means only you have the means to track down issues 🙂
Good luck in any case.
I have checked the websites using all platforms and I know they work fine, as I said it was just out of curiosity when I had the simulator open.
I know the problem is particular to my computer, I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue and found the solution
Thanks anyway
I also have the same problem, the simulator dont connect to the internet and same message "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to internet "
I use simulator to develop and i dont use the browser but use many webservices that off curse dont run without a connection.
The strange thing is that this use to work without any problem but suddenly stop working and i just dont know what else can i try to fix it.
Xcode 4.6
Simulator IOS 6.1 (10B141)
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks,
Diego.
I had this problem also, but was able to connect by quitting iOS Simulator and starting it again. I hope this helps.
Well I am lost why iOS simulator ver 8.3 will not run the maps app on the simulator as well. I have just off the phone to Apples development department and they have no ideas why my maps simulator app will not show the map but will show the grid lines. I have reloaded,rebooted and half a dozen other things but no better off. I can use safari to access google maps on the simulator though. ?????
This is not specific to your computer. We are all being underserved by Apple. There is a larger issue here that has been in play over THREE major releases of Xcode and is simply not being addressed. See all of the other people running into this on Stackoverflow who are going there because they're getting no meaningful help in Apple's support forums. Rebooting from the Hardware menu and Resetting Content Settings is a band aid that does nothing for me beyond one or two http requests before the problem comes back. Apple Support basically says "Wow, that's weird. Sorry, no idea." Yet my Xcode iOS simulator does not work. I had this problem with Yosemite and I upgraded today to El Capitan. Same problem. I am using:
Xcode Version 6.3.2 (6D2105).
OS X El Capitan Version 10.11 (15A284)
All I get from Safari (regardless of iOS version used) in the simulator is "Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost." And if another person says "it's a simulator not an emulator, check you internet connection." I'm typing this on my Macbook so obviously, I'm on the internet. It doesn't matter if I'm on VPN, off VPN. I used to use the simulator from this WiFi network. Now it doesn't work. Skype is working. All my browsers are working. Hangouts is working. Sublime Text is SFTPing files up to a remote server. The Apple App store is working. I can use gitHub. BUT MY SIMULATORS DON'T WORK. And don't tell me there are other ways to do what I'm trying to do. I need a simulation of an iPhone visiting a mobile site. Not Chrome's iPhone emulator. It doesn't behave the same way. And by the way, even if there IS another way (which I know there are) this product needs to be working. "Find another way and I'm going to convince you that you don't need this simulator" is a meaningless, garbage answer.
