Is iOS Simulator, 12.9" buggy?

[Steve Husting]

I know that simulators cannot replace the actual thing. But I have no access to a 12.9" iPad.

When I use the Xcode simulator for that device, the drop-down menu either does not work at all (cannot go to link when clicking on drop-down option), or works sporadically (sometimes a link will actually work, but not repeatedly in the same session). I'm using materializecss for the menu. 

It always works perfectly in Google Chrome! 

Do you find the iPad 12.9" buggy with your code testing, or working as well as Google Chrome?

Do you have any other iDevices to test on? If so, do they exhibit the same problem?

The simulator lies often, but not usually when it comes to something like this.

Unfortunately, the last device I used seems to have just gone obsolete. So I am between devices at the moment. In Chrome on the desktop and in Android, it just works. I'm doing quite a bit of tweaking, so I wonder if I'm knocking myself out over the simulator.

I wonder if this is a bug.

When you run `xcrun simctl list devicetypes` for Xcode 9:

> iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPad-Pro)

Note it says .iPad-Pro

So other sim sizes don't exhibit the problem?

There's discussion of a point release to fix some issues due to iOS 11, so that might help with this. Cross your fingers, anyway. ;-)
