How do I test a camera in the iPhone simulator?

There are a number of device specific features that you have to test on the device, but it's no harder than using the simulator. Just build a debug target for the device and leave it attached to the computer.

List of actions that require an actual device:

• the actual phone
• the camera
• the accelerometer
• real GPS data
• the compass
• vibration
• push notifications...

I never tried it, but you can give it a try! iCimulator

Nope (unless they've added a way to do it in 3.2, haven't checked yet).

I wrote a replacement view to use in debug mode. It implements the same API and makes the same delegate callbacks. In my case I made it return a random image from my test set. Pretty trivial to write.

Just found a repo on git that helps Simulate camera functions on iOS Simulator with images, videos, or your MacBook Camera.
