Is it possible to change the iOS Simulator to use 24 hour time?

Question

I'm trying to debug a potential issue in the iOS Simulator (v 7.0) which requires the iPad to be running in 24-hour time mode. Obviously, the option is not available to change in the simulator itself and changing the time mode on my host system didn't do the trick either.

Any advice on making this change? Is it even possible? Seems like a pretty basic thing but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Answer 1

If you switch the region format to a country that uses 24-hour time as a standard (e.g. France) inside the simulator then it should work for you.

Go to Simulator / Settings / General / International / Region Format / Select the Region

Answer 2

Time zone can be changed by system only System Preference/Date & Time select time zone and change.After changing time zone by system it will reflect in your simulator. iPhone simulator has no option to change time zone.

Answer 3

First change the MAC Time settings to your required format and time zone by Launchpad/SystemPreferences/Date and Time. Then restart your simulator.

For reflecting the 24 hour format you need to change the simulator settings app also

Simulator/Settings/General/Language & Region/Change the region to match your mac settings.
