I downloaded Xcode version 13.4.1. I went to Xcode -> Preferences -> Components. I don't see any simulators listed.
From what I've seen and read this is how you pick the simulator to use. Trying to debug an issue with IPhone 13 and Safari.
How to I get the list of simulators to show up? Do I need to down load them? And if I do how do I do that? I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
To add a new simulator:
Go to "Add Additional Simulators" from Product -> Destination -> Add Additional Simulators.
Go to the "Simulators" panel, and from the left menu, click on the [+] icon at the bottom.
create a new simulator by choosing the device and the iOS version that suits your needs
the function Download simulator runtimes is missed
Download Simulator

I'm trying to add additional device simulator. Product -> Destination -> Add additional simulators window on Xcode. But after adding it to a list of available simulators, it's not appearing in the list of available devices to build.
Show as run destination is checked.
After clean installing Xcode 14.2, only iPhone 14 simulators are available.
I've tried re-adding several times with different iOS versions on different devices.
I also followed this thread and delete all available simulators, as someone suggested. Now I have 0 in a list of devices to build.
I had the exact same problem with XCode 14.2 and adding iPhone XR, I went to the Project Navigator pane, selected the top line and on the right side window the Project settings appear. I went to the Minimum Deployments section and selected the lowest IOS version I was working with. In my case I had downloaded and installed iOS 15.5. After that, the IOS simulator list updated with all the simulators Listed in the Devices and Simulators where the "Show as Run Destination" was selected for a given simulator.
Hope this helps...
I am a beginner in Xcode and I just updated it to 7.2.1. Before I did this I never had a problem with running my app, but now it only shows me 'Generic Device', instead of the regular simulators I use. Anyone know how I can solve this?
Sure, you can add any simulator you like. Just open Xcode and under the "Window" menu, click "Devices".
Then, you can click the little plus in the lower left to add a Simulator.
Just select the one you want, and name it, and you should be all set!
You may also need to actually download the simulators, if for some reason they're no longer on your computer. Go to the Xcode preferences, and then in the downloads tab you'll see simulators listed.
I just reopened Xcode and now I only see 6s simulators. All the others have just disappeared. How do I add them back ?
EDIT :
Silly me ,I missed that the scheme and target somehow changed to Apple Watch and I didn't notice. Should I delete this question :P .
Open Xcode, click on 'Xcode' in top left of the screen, select 'Preferences...', once a separate window opens up click on the 2nd last tab called 'Downloads'. Inside, check the installed components.
If you deleted any previously installed simulators, then you should be able to re-download them here.
check whether simulators are installed or not by preferences section in xcode. Or it might just be glitch. Restart your computer and Xcode
Just go to Xcode -> window -> devices
follow this steps
1)
2) select the devices options, you will be able to see this screen
3) click on add button. and add the simulator you want like this
Just updated to Xcode 6, midway through working on a project. Now the only destination that comes up is my own iPhone, which is annoying as I would rather prefer a simulator.
I've already tried messing with the schemes as suggested by other answers and restarted my computer, any ideas?
First, you have to download other iOS versions as owenfi suggested, however that is not all.
If you want the simulators to show up in the scheme menu/popup, then you also have to open Devices menu (Cmd + Shift + 2 or Window/Devices) and add the required simulators. You can choose between all devices and the iOS versions you've downloaded. Have a look on the screenshot below.
Download support for additional simulators in Xcode Preferences > Downloads.
I never understood but after some installation they don't show up. One easy way is create them in the devices window. Open xcode go into Window then devices, press the plus button at the bottom left and create yours.
Changing Deployment Target worked for me..
I am an iOS noob. I had a project running on the iPhone simulator in Xcode 4.4. To resolve a different issue, I un-installed 4.4 and then installed 4.5.1. Now when I try to run my project on the simulator I get an error "Xcode cannot run using the selected device: No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination."
How do I choose an iOS simulator as the destination?
Where do I click?
There should be a menu in the top left region of the toolbar section of the IDE. It should have a run button, a stop button, and then the name of your app and a label saying IOS Device. Click view-->show toolbar if you don't see it. Click on IOS Device and you should get a drop down menu of devices. The simulator should be in that list.
This should do it, its very simple actually
Just in case anyone finds this helpful --
Sometimes your version of xCode doesn't support the deployment targets.
My iOS simulator did not show up as a destination until I set the deployment target down to 7.0 (it seems like 7.1 may not be supported by xCode 5.0, but only 5.1 [not confirmed]).
Hope that helps if anyone stumbles across it.
For me the problem was that the selection in the toolbar only shows up for a certain width of the XCode window
I was able to add devices to the Simulators list by clicking on Window->Devices (Shift+Command+2), and clicking on the + at the bottom left to add Simulators.
After you click on Create, the device(s) will show up
Make sure to set Supported Platforms correctly
I had the same issue. The simulator would run a different device than chosen in the size field under "Simulated Matrix".
I dug around and found in Xcode's menu: Product/Destination. screenshot I was then able to run the simulator for the correct size.
Hope this helps !!
