How to delete an app from iOS Xcode Simulator?
Just in case, we can delete apps by resetting contents and settings but an individual app could also be deleted from simulator in Xcode 7. This is not the case in Xcode 8. How can this be achieved? I have a forced touch trackpad, does it affect deleting the app from simulator?
Answer
I struggled with this too for a while until I figured it out. I'm surprised at how hard it is to find information about this...
As you mentioned, this is only an issue when using a trackpad that supports Force Click. @pingkai.tse's answer is a good one, but for me turning off "Use TrackPad Force" does not persist - I have to turn it off every time I restart the simulator.
The trick is to click without triggering a Force Click gesture. It's hard at first, but after some practice you'll get the hang of it. On the trackpad, click very lightly on the app and hold long enough to trigger the long press. While holding, if you see the text starting to blur you are applying too much pressure and are instead triggering a Force Click.
