Can I use iOS Simulator to make screenshots for App Store?

Question

I'd like to submit an iPhone+iPad app to Apple App Store.

According to requirements, at least two screenshots are required:

1242 x 2208: for iPhone
2048 x 2732: for iPad.

iOS Simulator allows to set Device type to iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 inch) and iPad pro (12.9 inch).

Does iTunes Connect accept screenshots made on Simulator?
(Or do I have to buy an iPhone and iPad to make screenshots.)

Answer 1

Yes you can submit with screenshots taken in the Simulator.

I recommend testing on a physical device though. You can use Test Flight with external testers who already own a device if you don't want or can't get your own.
