How to switch between Light, Dark, and Tinted appearances in the Xcode Simulator (iOS 18+)

If you're looking to test your app icon or UI under different system appearances in the Xcode Simulator, here's how to toggle between modes. This is especially useful when checking how your app icons or assets behave in Light, Dark, or the new Tinted mode (iOS 18 only):

Steps:

1. Long press on an empty space on the Home Screen or on any App Icon.

2. Tap the Edit button in the top-left corner (occasionally appears top-right depending on Simulator version).

3. Tap Customize.

4. Choose between Light, Dark, Automatic, or Tinted.

📝 Note: Tinted mode is only available starting in iOS 18.
