I’m making a sticker pack for iOS, and before I can submit it to the App Store, I need to include at least one screenshot of the app from a 5.5″ iPhone, and a 12.9″ iPad Pro. These are both devices that I don’t have.
I’m also not that well versed in photoshop, but I could learn it as I have read that that’s a way to make screenshots to use for the App Store.
Thank You for your help!

use the Xcode simulator to run your app on any device you don’t have. Then take screenshots using Mac OS X built-in screenshot functionality 🙂
P.S. make sure the simulator runs at 1:1 scale (set it in the view menu)
@Fydor’s apple+s tip sounds way better
You could use simulator. With your app opened in simulator press cmd+S or from menu: File -> Save Screen Shot. Screen shot will appear on your desktop.
UPD: as opposed to https://stackoverflow.com/a/41730054/2305175 you’ll get ready to use screen shot with size exactly as in simulator without further work like cropping it
Note: Screenshots resolution is independend of your monitor resolution. So this even works when your monitor has lower resolution than what you need for the screenshot.
The simulator for each device is one option. However, I prefer to use a service for this. I will not plug any services, but google “iOS screenshot service” and take your pick to automate away this process. It should now be part of your app release workflow.
