How to download iPad Mini simulator - ios

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:

XCODE does not have iPad Pro 6th generation

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.

Can I use iPhone 5 (version 10.3.4) for flutter iOS debugging?

I am trying to debug my flutter iOS project with a real iPhone device which is iPhone 5. My Xcode application is not showing my iPhone 5 in the device list. Can I run my flutter iOS project in my iPhone 5?
Xcode version: 12.3
iPhone 5 version: 10.3.4
Yes, Of course you can run your flutter project in a real IOS device. Check your connection between your iPhone and system which is used by you. If this solution doesn't work then restart your Xcode otherwise restart your system after connect your iPhone with your system a pop-up menu appears in iPhone to ask "Trust this computer" click on trust. And You need to set the deployment target according to your iPhone version. Enjoy ;)
This snippet came out at the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit hardware for iPhones:
The following iOS devices are 64-bit:
iPhone 5s/SE/6/6s/7
iPad Air and iPad Air 2
iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 4
Sixth-generation iPod touch
12.9-inch iPad Pro and 9.7-inch iPad Pro
9.7-inch iPad (2017)

I recall Flutter needing 64-bit ARM, which would seem to preclude an iPhone 5 according to the above list.

Why is the device viewer different than the simulator?

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.

Run the application in iPad 10.5 inch 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.
