I’m trying to figure out how to turn on the new dark mode on the Xcode simulator. As far as I know it turns on by itself on real devices when it’s dark. Is there a way to trigger this on the simulator?

There are two ways to activate the dark mode in Xcode 11. Both require you manual steps and are not automatic depending on the time.
1. Environment Overrides
The preferred one is to use the Environment Overrides inside Xcode. When running the App on the simulator in Xcode appears a button in the debugger controls next to 'Debug Memory Graph' and 'Simulate Location'. There you will find a menu for enabling dark mode, as well as choose text size and other accessibility settings.
2. Simulator Settings
Alternatively you can go inside the Settings App on the simulator:
Settings > Developer > Dark Appearance
Here I got it. Open Setting -> Developer -> Dark Appearance

Isn't this exactly what the other answer said?
On the Simulator>Features>Toggle Appearances changed the state for me:
there is also the Shift+Command+A option that also works.

In iOS 16 Beta 1 there is no option to change dark/light mode here.
It’s also possible to activate dark mode on your iOS simulator by using the following command:
xcrun simctl ui booted appearance dark To change to light mode, run this:
xcrun simctl ui booted appearance light

2.Go to AppDelegate.m or AppDelegate.h .You can find the options in the bottom side.
