iOS 9 introduced slide over and split view for iPad. How do I simulate these features on an iPad simulator? I have tried swiping from right on iPad Air 2 simulator with no luck.

To simulate slide over: drag from the right edge (starting from a point very close to the edge).

To simulate split view: tap on the small white bar on the left edge of the slide-over app.
