How to bring up the iOS multitasking bar in iOS iPad Simulator
I'm trying to test start state of my application when it is "freshly" launched, and when it is launched from a multitasking state. On an iPad a user can double click on the Home button twice to bring up the multitasking bar, and then you can close all the applications you no longer want running.
This used to be easy, previous versions of the Simulator actually had a home button, but now it doesn't. In order to go to the home screen you have to go to Simulator -> Hardware -> Home, and there isn't an option listed to simulate a double click of it.
Am I missing something? Or is there no longer a way to kill applications that are running once they have started in the iPad Simulator without deleting them completely. I'd be great if I didn't have to push the application each time to my physical iPad every time I make a change to test this part of my application.

If you're using the retina iPad simulator you will end up with the home-button-less version. Go to Hardware->Device->iPad and you'll get a simulator that has a home button you can double click.
You can also use the home button shortcut (default is cmd+shift+h) and double hit that and it will trigger the multitasking bar
