SimulatorCheck

Is common to provide special behavior of your app is running on the Simulator, on Objective-C this was pretty simple, this is how you did it:

#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
    // Simulator
#else
    // Device
#endif

In Swift there’s nothing as beautiful as that, so after looking into StackOverflow I found this:

#if (arch(i386) || arch(x86_64)) && os(iOS)
    ...
#endif

Which works, but I hate copy pasting the same code everywhere, also arch(i386)?! That doesn’t say anything, code should be self-explanatory and easy to understand. That’s why I made a simple micro-library that helps with this.

if SimulatorCheck.isSimulator {
    // Do something
}
