I'm trying to debug a potential issue in the iOS Simulator (v 7.0) which requires the iPad to be running in 24-hour time mode. Obviously, the option is not available to change in the simulator itself and changing the time mode on my host system didn't do the trick either.

Any advice on making this change? Is it even possible? Seems like a pretty basic thing but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

If you switch the region format to a country that uses 24-hour time as a standard (e.g. France) inside the simulator then it should work for you.

Go to Simulator / Settings / General / International / Region Format / Select the Region
