Can we install iOS 10 Simulator on Xcode 7.3 - ios

I want to test my app on iOS 10 simulator. But I don't want to build the project using Xcode 8 yet. So, can i install iOS 10 simulator in to Xcode 7.3?

I was just checking the apple developer forum
Below is the details
Xcode 7.3
Xcode 7.3 requires a Mac running OS X version 10.11 or later. It includes updated support for iOS 9.3, watchOS 2.2, OS X version 10.11.4, and tvOS 9.2 as well as many feature improvements.

How to install iOS 9.x Simulator on Xcode 11?

I'm developing and iOS app with iOS 9 support, but with Xcode 11 update I'm missing the possibility to add / install iOS 9 simulator.
Is there any chance to have iOS 9.x simulator in Xcode 11?
It seems iOS 9 simulator is supported by Xcode 11, but only on macOS 10.14 Mojave. After upgrade to macOS 10.15 Catalina, this simulator is not supported any more.
Though I didn't find confirmation of this in any release notes. The only acknowledgment I found is this tweet by Apple engineer: https://twitter.com/xenadu02/status/1140093901438689280?lang=en
I tried installing Xcode 10.1 on my Mac, but it also did not work for iOS9, i suspect it has to do with Apple dropping support for 32 bit applications (like iOS9)
iOS 9.3 (9.3 - 13E233) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-3 (unavailable, The iOS 9.3 simulator runtime is not supported on hosts after macOS 10.14.99.) (unavailable, The iOS 9.3 simulator runtime is not supported on hosts after macOS 10.14.99.)
I've got macOS Catalina 10.15.5 currently installed and the only solution I found to test my app on iOS 9 simulator it's described in the following steps:
create a virtual machine with macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (following steps are done into the virtual machine)
install Xcode 10.2.1
Download and install the simulators you need from Preferences/Components
install Xcode 11
Now you should be able to test your app on iOS 9... kind of
iOS 9.0 is not supported by Xcode 11.
Jayaraj M, it's not a true:
Xcode 11 is available in the Mac App Store and includes SDKs for iOS
13, macOS Catalina 10.15, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13. Xcode 11 supports
development for devices running iOS 13.1. Xcode 11 supports on-device
debugging for iOS 8 and later, tvOS 9 and later, and watchOS 2 and
later. Xcode 11 requires a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later.

How do I run my application on my iOS 10.1 Beta Device?

I updated to the iOS 10.1 beta on my device and Xcode 8 will not let me run the application on my device. What can I do to fix this?
Try installing Xcode 8.1 beta 3
https://developer.apple.com/download/
Includes the SDKs for iOS 10.1 beta, macOS 10.12.1 beta, watchOS 3.1 beta, and tvOS 10.0.1 beta.
Xcode 8.1 beta requires OS X 10.11.5 or later.
To be able to build and run your application onto your iOS 10.1 Beta device, you need to install the latest beta build of Xcode. The latest build is Xcode 8.1 Beta 3.
Xcode 8.1 beta 3 includes SDKs for iOS 10.0 and it's latest beta build, watchOS 3.0, macOS 10.12, and tvOS 10.0.

Is there a way to get iOS 7 simulator on Xcode 8 beta

I just updated my Xcode to beta version (8.0) and I lost the iOS8 prior simulator that I had in the previous version. I still need the iOS 7 SDK and iOS 8.Appreciate any help
No. The iOS 7.1 Simulator runtime is not supported on macOS 10.11 and newer. Xcode 8 requires macOS 10.11 or newer. Thus they are not compatible based on the host OS requirements.
No,this is no way to install iOS7 in Xcode 8, because they are different runtime

Can we install iOS 6 simulator in XCODE 6.0.1?

I updated my XCODE version to 6.0.1 from 5.1.1 but when i try to install iOS simulator 6 , i cant find it in XCODE -> Preferences -> Downloads option ...
My project needs iOS 6 environment
Can anyone please suggest a way to install it or get back to older version.
Thanks in Advance .
Xcode 6 contains CoreSimulator. CoreSimulator supports the iOS 7.0 and later simulator runtimes.
The iOS 7.0 simulator runtime is not supported on OS X Yosemite.
If you are on OS X Mavericks, you can install 7.0 or later.
If you are on OS X Yosemite, you can install 7.1 or later.
If you need the iOS 6 simulator runtime, you should install Xcode 5.1 (on Mavericks) and use it for testing your projects in the iOS 6 runtime. You can install both versions of Xcode simultaneously.
No, you can't install that simulator in Xcode 6.0.1. You can download Xcode 5.1.1 from the iOS Developer Center: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode
If that link doesn't work login to the dev center and under the downloads section click "Looking for an older version of Xcode?"
In the search box type "Xcode 5.1.1" and filter your Categories to Developer Tools:

ios 7.0 upgrade issue

I have iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 which is recently upgraded to iOS 7 now I need to test my app on that iPhone with iOS 7. I have SDK Xcode 4.6 and OS X 10.7.5
I got some small issues here due to iOS 6.1.3 upgrade to iOS 7:
I'm unable to test my app on that iPhone 4 with my current SDK (Xcode 4.6). So, if I need to update it to Xcode 5.0 but its not
working with OS X 10.7.5.
If I upgraded my OS X 10.7.5 to 10.8.5 will it work?
I have tried to downgrade iOS but I'm unable to do that because Apple stopped the signing for the previous versions.
First you need to upgrade your mac os to 10.8 then only you can install xcode 5. From xcode 5 you can take build in the device which is having IOS 7.
For your reference :
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/WhatsNewXcode/Articles/xcode_5_0.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012953-SW1
You have to upgrade your X-code version 5 and after upgrading u test your app in your phone
First of you have to upgrade your SDK' to to Xcode 5,IOS7 ....In the deployment target please use IOS 6 or relatively your iPhones IOS...Please remember developemnt target and deployment target are different....
