Skin disappeared after installing Xcode 6 iOS Simulator 8

Question

After installing Xcode 6 I got the new version of the iOS Simulator.

Unfortunately, the nice iPhone skin/frame is gone. It was great for taking screenshots.

How get I get it back to work?

any iphone simulator file-> save sceren shot allows to make screen shots. I suppose under nice iphone simulator you mean iphone 3 gs simulator with ios 6.1. Unfortunately xcode 6 does not support it. – Mahmoud

Don’t use the simulator for device screenshots. Apple provides hi-res Photoshop files that have placeholders for your screenshots. Their status bars are also perfect, App Store-ready 9:41 AM works of art :)

Update: you can also use frameit from Fastlane to automate this.

Agreed. It would be nice if the simulator had a "spit out App Store-ready screenshots" button. I have previously filed two related radars: openradar.me/radar?id=5888391438663680 and openradar.me/radar?id=5144348618391552 – Danille
