The easiest way to perform network latency test on an App in iPhone

Simulating network latency or even poor network is very easy in iOS. You don’t need to setup a proxy, router nor a poor network provider. All you have to do is enabling Developer mode using XCode. Then, you can see the Developer icon,


Under Developer, you can see the Network Link Conditioner. By default it is Off. Tap on the Network Link Conditioner,


There are a number of profile for you to use. You can use ping time (round-trip) from you mobile phone to your target backend, subtracting ping time from your lab’s backend. Tap on Add a profile…* to create one


Let’s say the ping time is 900ms, you can set either Out Delay, In Delay or both.


Done!
