I don’t have access to an iPad running iOS 5 (and since Apple doesn’t allow downgrading(!), I’m not going to upgrade my test device).
How can I use the simulator to test the 4-finger app-change swipe functionality that’s new to iOS 5? Is it possible?
Thanks
In iOS4.3 you could enable “Multitasking Gestures” from Settings > General so long as your iPad is in developer mode (Xcode > Organiser > Devices > [Your iPad] > Use for development) for which you need an iOS dev subscription, I think.
Apple only enabled this for developers and iOS5 no longer allows this for the iPad 1 (even for developers, which is very frustrating).

On the Simulator you can simulate the 4-finger app-change swipe by double tapping the home button and then selecting the next application. The application order and transition are different but the functionality is basically the same. I’m not sure exactly what about this feature you are trying to test?
