xcode 11.4 has removed the standard "hardware" and device options from Simulator. How to open an existing device or create a new device?
Here is the new simulator menu:
In xcode 11.4, Windows > Devices and Simulators, there is no option to launch a simulator.
If you are running your app from Xcode, just select the device for the Active Scheme (top-left):
If not, then search for launch ios simulator from command line
Or, find this option:

I want to build an app with WatchKit extension with watchOS 4.2 deployment target (for Apple Watch Gen0 support) in Xcode 12.4. I have iOS 14.4 and watchOS 4.2 simulators downloaded. But when i try to add paired watch to any iOS simulator and select "Apple Watch - 42mm" as device, the components windows instantly popups, and if i close it, there is no options in OS versions dropdown menu except "Download more simulator runtimes...". How can i add this simulator, if it possible in Xcode 12?

I wanted to try my app on iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.3 but I couldn't find iOS 10.3.3 in simulators
any ideas are welcome
Unfortunately you can't download it from this window, as Apple does not release/provides simulator for each version/subversions of iOS.
Here I've simulator list with Xcode 9.3, Component window. It seems apple has not provided simulator for 10.3.3.
You can also add/find a simulator from Xcode Target:
Open simulator list against your Xcode target and Add Additional Simulators...
Switch to Simulators and click on +
Select Device Type, iOS Version and Create simulator.
Unable to open liblaunch_sim.dylib. Try reinstalling Xcode or the simulator runtime.
Occurs on Xcode 7.1 when selecting, ironically, the iOS 7.1 simulator. This iOS 7 simulators are not available in Xcode 7, yet they still show up in the active scheme Device List. See iPad2 (7.1), iPad Air (7.1), iPad Retina (7.1), iPhone 4s (7.1), etc. in the picture below:
How can I get rid of the unavailable simulators, short of re-installing Xcode? Besides, I just upgraded Xcode, which caused this situation in the first place.
It is a bug that the 7.1 simulator is showing up in Xcode 7. The iOS 7.1 Simulator Runtime is not supported in Xcode 7.
If you want to remove those devices from the list, you can do so from Xcode's Devices Window. You can find it in the Window Menu or get to it from shift-cmd-2.
You can also delete them from the command line using xcrun simctl delete <UDID>
If you have a new enough version of Xcode installed, you can also run 'xcrun simctl delete unavailable' to delete all unavailable devices.
I have Xcode Version 6.4 (6E35b), OS X v 10.10.4 and the iOS Simulator just does not show up in Preferences:
If I click "Check and Install now" nothing happens.
I have an another machine next to me and everything is installed correctly.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Xcode 6.4 comes with the iOS 8.4 Simulator runtime.
A default set of devices should be created automatically. If you deleted them, you can recreate them with Xcode's Devices Window or from the command line using xcrun simctl create ...
If you want to add some simulator use Xcode Window/Devices then click + icon at left bottom. You can add any installed simulator to your xcode.
I have Xcode 5 DP and am trying to run iPad applications. However it only shows "iOS Device" under the scheme and not a simulator. If I go to General --> Devices and change it from iPad to Universal I can only run the iPhone simulator but not the iPad one. There are no updates available for Xcode. Under Build Settings, I've tried changing the Code Signing Identity to Don't Sign but that didn't do anything. Also, I've changed the deployment target from iOS 7.0 to a lower version with no results. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
