How do I install and launch the Home.app in the Apple xcode device simulator?

Question

When I start the XCode device simulator for any given device type (using iOS 12.1), I see many of the default Apps shipped with the iOS. However, I am missing the Home.app for controlling the Apple Home Kit services.

Searching through the web I find plenty of tutorials how to set up Apple Home Kit or how to install individual apps, but I did not find any hint how to get the original Apple Home.app running inside the device simulator.

Can anybody help me out?

Answer 1

You can't, Home App relies on Bluetooth, BLE and other technologies that are not emulated in the iOS emulator.

Answer 2

Xcode simulator does not support Bluetooth, its means we need to use physical ios device for run and test BLE app.
