How to enable Force Touch Pressure on iOS Simulator 9.1

The new 9.1 simulator with Xcode 7.1 has the function of simulating a force touch, such as the iPhone 6s / 6s +, but the option is greyed / disabled.

The simulator does not support interaction with iOS devices using 3D Touch prior to Xcode 7.3. The menu item you are referring to applies only to Apple Watch devices.

select the simulator (clock) → Equipment → Force Touch Pressure → Deep Press, and then press and hold the simulator, a menu will appear. You do not need a real device to check the context menu.

The Apple Developer website says:

Note

With Xcode 7.1, you must develop on a device that supports 3D Touch. The simulator in Xcode 7.1 does not support 3D Touch.

Apparently, the new Simulator 9.1 does not support 3D Touch. In fact, you can implement this behavior, but (unfortunately) you need to test it on a real device that supports 3D Touch.

I think we all have to wait for the next release of Xcode.

See here for a similar discussion and a way to check the touch force for quick actions only (on the app icon).
