Known issues - iPads - No ESC key on keyboard

iPads run the simulator fine however if you are using certain keyboards (including the Apple iPad Magic Keyboard version) then it doesn’t have an ESC key - which is a key requirement for us in the way that we have set up the simulator. 

Thankfully there is a simple solution.

Basically you can assign the ‘Globe’ button to act as an ESC key. Watch this video to work out how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YqAOlHzy1g The video suggests using another key but we use the Globe and it works fine and doesn’t seem to be used for anything else.
