Simulator Airplane Mode
Validate your app’s functionality when there’s no networking connection available.
It’s essential to test your app in bad networking conditions during app development. Historically, you’ve had to test this on an actual device using Airplane mode or turn off your Mac’s WiFi. Both are not ideal and often slow you down during development.
RocketSim’s Airplane Mode allows you to test your app for poor connections within the Simulator. The best thing of all: your Mac’s internet connection stays working, so you can still access ChatGPT or Stack Overflow while developing support.
I encourage you to read my article Optimizing your app for Network Reachability to prepare your app for bad networking conditions using RocketSim.
