# Nine41 *Automate overriding the status bars for all running iOS simulators* ## About Blog posts: * [ Overriding status bar display settings in the iOS simulator](https://www.jessesquires.com/blog/overriding-status-bar-settings-ios-simulator/) * [A script to automate overriding iOS simulator status bar values](https://www.jessesquires.com/blog/automating-simctl-status-bar/) [Xcode 11](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_11_release_notes) shipped with `simctl status_bar`, a tool to override the status bar values in the simulator so you can take perfect screenshots. However, it has some issues: * The overrides do not persist across launches of the simulator * The numerous override options are difficult to remember * There are no sensible defaults This script fixes that. It overrides the status bars for all currently running simulators using "Apple's defaults" — full cellular bars, full wifi bars, full battery, and `9:41` for the time. ## License Released under an [MIT License](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
