Hi guys, I need some screenshots for app store. I sent the download link for iOS to my email and click that in the Xcode simulator. It asks me if I would like to install the app and I click “Install”. Unfortunately, nothing happens after that. Do you know why? Or is it simply impossible to install an app from outside? I tried the same steps in [appetize.io](http://appetize.io) but had no success. Any ideas? Cheers! Serdar ---

Unfortunately nothing. I just click install after clicking the download button. Then nothing happens. I do not see the app in the simulator screen. ---

I think in order to trust the app, you need to be able to install first, right? ---

I have an iPhone 6s and I need screenshots of 8 plus (5.5") and 12.9" iPad. 🙂 It is very easy to get the screenshots from the simulator. I can basically change the image size via PhotoShop but I do not want to mess with apple. They reject easily. 🙂 Do you have an idea how I can get these screenshots easily? ---
