Zoom in Test Run

When I click play to test the application the zoom is too far in and I cannot see the entire test screen of the iphone. How do I zoom out so that I can see the entire screen?

Shawn, you have a really great question!

For resizing simulated iPhone screen on your screen:

When the simulator is running, select window > scale, and then choose your desired scale. You can also quickly change the scale by using the keyboard shortcut COMMAND + 1, 2, or 3.

For zooming gesture:

In the simulator, you can simulate many gestures that you will be using when building applications. To zoom out, click anywhere on screen and press the option key. After pressing the option key, you will be able to simulate zooming in and out.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
