My Xcode doesn't have the simulator installed. When I go to windows=>devices and simulators to install it, I don't see iPad Pro 12.9 inch (6th generation) listed. How do I go install it the simulator?
In Devices and Simulators, click Simulators. At the bottom left, click the Plus button (+). Look thru the Device Type pop-up menu until you find the iPad Pro 6th generate. Choose it.
If you don't see it, update your Xcode.

I am developing an app for my iPhone XS. I used to have "View-As" iPhone 11 Pro selected in the storyboard, as its the same screen size. Coming back after a few months, neither is listed in the "View-As" section anymore.
None of the available options offer the same screen size as my target device, what should I select to build the UI? The options are:
iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 12 / 12 Pro
iPhone 12 Mini
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone 11
Some iPhones with the home button and no notch
Some iPads
Xcode 12.3, iOS target 14.3
You can use desired simulator. If you doesn't exist You can add new one
Click the device or simulators in just near the your project icon in Xcode and click the Add additional Simulators. section.
After follow ss steps as below
I have constraints for my iOS application and I run the simulator an this is how it runs on the iPad Pro simulator...
9.7 inch iPad Pro Simulator
And then when I view the device in Xcode as a 9.7 inch iPad Pro, it looks exactly how I want it to. I cleaned the build and restarted Xcode and the simulator but each show a different result.
View as 9.7 inch device
So if I was to run the program on an actual 9.7 inch iPad, which one would it run like?
Your app is not fullscreen on the iPad, because it is not a Universal app. It is running in the iPhone mode and just stretched.
To make your app a Universal app, select the Project in Xcode, select the Target, go to the General Tab and change Devices from iPhone to Universal.
Without any changes the app on a real device would look like the app running in the simulator.
I have downloaded Xcode 8.3.3 and I am able to view iPad pro 10.5 inch in Interface builder. But I would like to test it in iPad pro 10.5 inch simulator. Is there anyway to download that simulator on Xcode.
I have looked at below thread but it does not answer my question.
How to add support for 10.5 inch iPad Pro
You don't have to download a different simulator for different device sizes, only for different iOS versions. Look for "iPad Pro (10.5-inch)" in the Xcode "Devices" window (press Shift+Cmd+2 to show it). If it's not there, try using the "+" button to add it.
Also make sure your target is correctly set up. Click on your project in the file navigator and select the target you're building in the main pane, then:
look in the deployment info for your target (in your target's "General" tab) and make sure "Devices" are set to "Universal" or "iPad",
make sure the Base SDK, in your target's "Build Settings" tab, is set to "Latest iOS", as the simulator may not show if the target is not being built for the minimum iOS version it supports.
I want to test my application on iPad mini screen in Xcode 8.2, but I could not find the simulator for the same.
I have also tried to add simulator Hardware > Device > click bottom add menu but here I do not see any option to download the iPad mini simulator.
By popular demand, Xcode now includes the iPad mini Simulator. It is not created by default, but you can use the Xcode Devices & Simulators window or xcrun simctl from the command line to create one.
For example, to create an iPad mini 4 simulator with Xcode 11.2:
xcrun simctl create "iPad mini 4" com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPad-mini-4 com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-13-2
I don't know about the earlier releases but you can do this on Xcode 10.2.1(or later)
Select Add Additional Simulators... from the active scheme:
Then press + to create new Simulator and select iPad mini in Device Type:
I've somehow collected a long list of iPhone simulators in Xcode:
I'd like to clear this, and restore a simulator for each device model and each installed simulator version, i.e.:
iPhone 4S (iOS 8.3)
iPhone 4S (iOS 8.4)
iPhone 4S (iOS 9.0)
iPhone 5 (iOS 8.3)
iPhone 5 (iOS 8.4)
iPhone 5 (iOS 9.0)
...etc.
How can I do this in an automatic manner? I don't care about losing any data on current simulators.
This question is distinct from the reported duplicate, because it requires that the simulators be recreated, as a clean install of Xcode does. The other question's answers merely delete the simulators.
It also requires that the deletion and creation be automated, i.e. "click the delete button a bunch of times, then click the add button a bunch of times" is not the answer.
Open up a simulator, then in menu bar go to Hardware -> Device -> Manage Devices. You can delete and add new simulator there.
In Xcode, Menu: Window:Devices
or
In the Simulator, Then Menu Hardware:Device:Manage Devices...
Delete (and add) simulators as you need.
To delete click on a simulator, press the delete key, click the OK in the dialog.
To add simulators by clicking the + at the lower left corner of the window and select the attributes you need.
