Simulator limitations

Simulator performance does not correlate to device performance in a meaningful way. If you want to test performance of an app as it behaves on your users' devices, you must test on a real device. When I say simulator performance in the rest of this document, I mean the performance of the simulator itself, not the performance of the app running in the simulator.

Hello World
