You may or may not be aware that running iOS projects in the Simulator does not allow you to check all of your app’s features.

We are taking some hints from the way many graphic design programs approach this and we think it’ll be a big improvement to the way controls are organized on Windows and Containers.
Comments closedKeeping the IDE simple to use for new users is one of our core tenets, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t add some much needed capabilities for our long-term users.
