Xcode Simulator For iPad app displays zoomed in like and iPhone app - xcode

I created a brand new Xcode project using the master detail template. Just running the project off the bat my Xcode simulator runs all iPad devices in the below format.
It looks like an iPhone app is being ran on an iPad. In the bottom right corner there is a 1x button. When clicked it turns into a 2x button.
I've reset all device and settings in the simulator and changed the project to run on on other iPad devices but still having the issue. Again this is an out of the box project with no adjustments made. Ive attached a screenshot of what it looks like.

Did you check this setting in the "general" tab in your project build settings is set to iPad instead of iPhone?

App screen size is too small for the ios simulator

Here is a screen shot of an ipad 10.5 inch running my app which takes up around 50% of the screen real estate. How do I force the app to use 100% of the screen real estate? (I am using xcode 10)
You have to specify it in Xcode. If you don't the ipad is getting a scaled up version of ui for iPhone 4. Open Xcode and specify it "General" project settings.
May be your IOS setting preference is wrong. You are opening your application on ipad but XCode rendering your application as iPhone app.
Go to general setting and select "iPad" in Deployment Info section.
Go to Build Setting and select "iPad" in Targeted Device Families under Deployment section.
Restart your project.

Xcode app is not full screen on ipad

When run my app on i get this result(black backgroud on both sides),I do not understand what the problem is?
Here is the screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/05tnmb950zoz10j/IMG_0604.PNG?dl=0
The app is running as an iPhone app.
My guess is that you have only selected the iPhone as device under "Deployment Info". You can change it to iPad or Universal instead.
You will find "Deployment Info" under the "General" tab when you click on your project at the top of the Navigator.

Xcode 6 beta iPad simulator portrait no split view on launch

In iPad i am using split view controller (one of my existing apps). Using Xcode 6 beta: If I launch the iPad simulator(s) with the device in portrait orientation it only shows the detail view and not the master view as well (and no "master" back button). If I rotate then to landscape all appears fine, rotate back to portrait and the "master"back button appears and can then access the master table view. With previous versions of Xcode the split view launches in portrait view.
I also noticed this, it seems to be a bug in Xcode 6 and iOS Simulator 8. You can send a bug report to Apple here
I had the same issue when running my app on the iOS8 simulator using xCode6-beta2. However, when I ran the app on my iOS7 device, the master view title showed up correctly. Sounds like an iOS8 issue.

Why simulator getting crash on Device change from simulator in Xcode 5?

When i run simulator in my xcode 5 and later on if i try to change simulator Device from under menu 'hardware' of simulator it getting crash. which is something unlikely to xcode previous versions. Is it my xcode copy specific bug or something else?
I had the same problem. Instead of changing the device in the iOS simulator, change to the device of your preference in XCode. Notice your project name in the top left hand corner next to build and run button and stop button. To the right of that is a drop down for different device names. Pick the one that you'd like to simulate. Then build and run in iOS simulator.

iOS Simulator for iPad not working since upgrade to Xcode 4.3.2

A few days back I upgraded to Xcode 4.3.2 by downloading from the developer's portal and running the installation files. Since then, I am able to test apps on my devices and am also able to test them on the iOS simulator for iPhone without issues. However, the iPad simulator is not working well. A screenshot is attached.
The home button doesn't appear.
The status bar doesn't appear.
The simulator appears like a window with minimize and maximize icons (only the maximize icon is enabled) and also has a title with the version no.
Can anyone please advise, a screenshot of the simulator is present at the below location.

The Skins are missing from the iPad simulator, a solution is using the keyboard shortcuts, Cmd+Shift+H for Home, Cmd+1 / 2 / 3 to resize the window to fit on your screen to avoid scrollbars and such.
