Bitrig streams your iPhone into the Preview tab

Bitrig added device streaming, so a connected iPhone or iPad shows up in the Preview tab next to your simulators.

You can click, scroll and type in your app from the Mac, streamed live at 60 fps. Select to Edit and Add Screenshot work on the device the same way they do in the simulator, and you can switch Dark Mode, text size and other device settings. Bitrig itself can tap through your app on the device, reading the screen and logs to test features that need real hardware. You can also record a demo from the device in the same 3D frame as the simulator.

Plug in an iPhone or iPad and Bitrig pairs with it and walks you through turning on Developer Mode. Apple Watch and Apple TV need to be paired in Xcode first. Once paired, the device stays connected over Wi-Fi after you unplug it.
