title: Xcode iOS Simulator: can I use the mouse as pretend Apple Pencil input (on iPad Pro), for testing?
body: <p>Is it possible to do this (with a menu, a shortcut, or a modifier key + mouse)?</p>
  
  <p>For example, you can use the mouse to test simple touch gestures in the simulator, like left mouse acts as single finger, and shift / option allow for different two finger gestures.</p>
  
  <p>I have been unable to find any documentation one way or the other about whether this is possible, despite <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewIniOS/Articles/iOS9_1.html" rel="noreferrer">this developer.apple.com page</a> where the simple, easy-to-understand API changes for supporting Apple Pencil hardware are documented.</p>
  
  <p>Do I need a physical iPad Pro + Pencil hardware to test my Pencil support?</p>
  
  <p>(My app is not a drawing app, just an app where touch input should work with large touch targets and Pencil should allow finer distinctions.)</p>
