How can I get the Facebook app on the IOS5 simulator?

Question

I need a custom logon screen that supports multiple identity providers (OAuth). When the user selects Facebook, I'm testing the Facebook SDK in various conditions

iOS 5

• With iOS app installed
• Without iOS app installed

iOS 6

• With iOS app installed (default). User not logged in via "settings"
• With iOS app installed (default). User logged in via "settings"

I understand in various circumstances either a Web Page will be shown, the app itself, or a popup button.

Question

• Is it possible for me to "sideload" the Facebook app on the iOS 5 simulator so I can test iOS5 with the app installed?

• Aside from purchasing a device just so I can install iOS 5 on it, how else can I test this?

Answer 1

There are many things you simply cannot test on the simulator and this is one of them. You have to test this by running your app on your device.

Answer 2

no, its not possible to install the FB app on simulator, You have to have a real device for doing that.
