hi @menypeled,
I have the same issue as yours: the swipe action works fine on real device but on simulator it doesn’t work. I have tried with many Appium versions and still got no luck.
My latest stack is: Appium 1.3.4, java client 2.1.0, xcode 6 and ios 8.1
My current workaround is to use AppleScript to calculate the coordinate of the simulator window, then move the cursor to the center of that window and drag from there. I hate this solution because I have to create another thread to do that and of course it cannot run on a remote hub ( like SauceLab) but it’s the only way that works for me.
I really hope that we can find a better solution for this
