I am unable to find Simulators with iOS 11 and lower in XCode 14.2
When I try to add a new Simulator (XCode>Preference>Platforms>Select Simulators to install), I see this. Did Xcode 14.2 discontinued support for iOS11 ? (It would not make sense).
Minimum deployment is iOS 10.3
I found similar question in stackoverflow for older XCode version. Those solutions did not work for me.

My application will support minimum iOS 11, and I want to test it with different versions of iOS. But in XCode 14.2 I can create simulator minimum with iOS 14.0, however I downloaded almost every iOS Simulator Platform for XCode.
Can't select older than iOS 14.
Downloaded old iOS Simulator Platform
I tried to google it and didn't find anything. Is this an XCode feature or I do someth wrong? Thanks.
I just updated my iPhone to iOS 13.3 and now I'm unable to build a simple react native app, I tried to download the newest XCode version (XCode 11.3 beta) which supposed to include the files but it doesn't.
macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Filed a bug report, no answer yet, will update when more information.
Update:
Got feedback from Apple Support, not sure what's exactly happened there:
Xcode 11.3 contains the iOS 13.2 SDK, which supports iOS 13.3 development. However, you cannot set a deployment target of 13.3. Please set a deployment target of 13.2 if you want to support the latest features.
You should add device support for iOS 13.3 in Xcode device support folder. Then quit Xcode and relaunch it.
You can find the file from the below link.

I have the Xcode Version 6.0.1 (6A317) on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with all iOS 8 simulators. I have also downloaded the iOS 7.1 simulators.
I am developing an app for iOS 8 and iOS 7.
The problem I encounter is that Xcode 6 doesn't show the iOS 7.1 simulators in the devices menu. At some point it did show them but on my newly created Xcode 6 project it does not.
I was looking at some stackoverflow solutions.I have addded the iOS 7.1 simulators Window - Devices - SIMULATORS. They are also checked with "Show in the Run Destionations Menu",however they are not shown.
I found a workaround by setting the Project and Target Deployment Target to 7.1. However, this is a stupid solution since for every test I need to manually switch them forth and back 7.1-8.0
This is my first ipad app and it worked perfectly under Xcode 5.1.1. iOS 7 and iOS 8 (CREATED UNDER Xcode 5.1.1.). Now I have created a project in Xcode 6.0.1. and the project doesn't have the simulators showing correctly and 95% of the app doesn't work.
I am new to iOS development but I suppose that this is a bug, but I am unsure. Please help.
The deployment target is the minimum OS version you intend to support.
As you stated, you need to set the deployment target to 7.1 in order to see the 7.1 simulators. If your deployment target is 8.0, the 7.1 simulators will not be available in the run destinations menu. This is the correct behavior because you can't run on iOS 7.1 if your deployment target is 8.0.
I already had deployment target 7.0 and simulator still wasn't available for 7.1.
I fixed the issue though by going into Xcode preferences, selected Downloads and re-downled the missing 7.1 simulators under 'Components'. Although I previously had 7.1 simulator, the Xcode 6 upgrade had seemed to remove them.
The iOS 9 update is not supported by Xcode 6.4 for testing purpose. is there a workaround to connect my device to Xcode for testing. If not can I roll back my update to ios 8.4.1( previous update ).
There is a way to deploy to iOS 9 devices with Xcode 6.4. I ended up doing this because I of course had updated my phone right away, but I did not quite want to go to Xcode 7 due to Swift 2 and the lack of support by coacoapods, yet.
Here is what I did:
I downloaded Xcode 7, but did not install it.
Instead I browsed inside the dmg file (Show Package Contents on right-click) to /Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport.
I then copied the folder named 9.0 (13A340) into the same location of my current installation of Xcode 6.4.
Lastly I renamed the existing 8.0 (12A365) folder to just 8.0 - I am not sure if this is necessary.
I am now able to deploy to my phone with iOS9 from Xcode 6.4.
I hope this is helpful to somebody!
The iOS 9 update is not supported by Xcode 6.4
You've hit the nail on the head. iOS 9 is not supported in versions of Xcode earlier than iOS 7. Just update to continue developing.
This worked for me to allow me to test my app that was built against the iOS8 SDK (on XCode 6.4) on a physical iOS9 device.
Rename XCode to Xcode 6.4 in the Applications folder
Install Xcode 7 from the downloaded DMG (don't update from the AppStore)
Open XCode 7 and build a test project (it can be an empty iOS9 app) and run it on your physical iOS9 device
Close Xcode 7 and open XCode 6.4
Build your app against the iOS8 SDK and debug on the physical iOS9 device
It seems like debugging on XCode 7 first updates something on the device and then XCode 6.4 can debug properly.
(This is useful for example, if you don't want to migrate your Swift 1.2 code to 2.0 yet)
I have tried to add the iOS6.1 simulator from the Xcode 4.6.3 package to Xcode 6, but it doesn't show up.
I followed the instructions on this post: How to Install Older iOS Simulators in XCode 4.2.1 (SDK5.0) to set it up and copied the "iPhoneSimulator6.1.sdk" to /Applications/Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDK. However it doesn't show up when trying to create a device.
Are there any extra steps I need to take?
You can install Xcode 5.1 side by side with Xcode 6 to run the iOS 6 simulators. It seems you can't link all the simulators into the same version of Xcode any more.
You can however move apps compiled for one simulator to the other. Just be careful which are i386 and which are 64 bit. See Install iOS 6 simulator on Xcode 6
Xcode 6 does not support simulators older than iOS 7.
