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.

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 had crash reports for iOS 11.4.1 on iPhone 8 Plus, so I installed iOS 11.4 by 'Download Simulators' below the iOS Simulator list. It downloaded and shows a green checkmark as installed.
Although my application supports iOS 10.0 (and I can see iOS 10.3.1 for some simulators) iOS 11.4 does not show up for any of the devices. I restarted the application as well.
Anything I'm missing here?
You can add already installed simulator to the list from following option:
Open Similator list (Right side of project name) -> Add additional simulators:
Tap on + add button to add installed simulators to the list
Go for New Scheme option and add a new scheme. You'll find the newly downloaded simulators. Seems like Xcode bug. I just tried the same which worked.
I tried to find the iPad simulator from xCode but no iPad Mini Simulator attached.
The version 11.4.1 not available as well. I have clicked from xCode Preference -> Component but cant find the simulator. My simulator current running 11.4
Is there any 11.4.1 available?
Firstly ,you should make sure that your Xcode is up to date. And it’s default iOS version is 11.4.
In addition,iPad mini simulator is not available in Xcode. You can choose the simulator ‘iPad Retina’ instead.It has the same Screen resolution with iPad mini 2-4（2048*1536）.
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.
I have installed Xcode 6.1. When I try to run application on iPhone 6/6+ it shows an error 'Unable to boot device in surest state : Creating' and for 6+ it states 'Lost connection to iPhone 6 plus'. I think this is an issue with simulator. I tried to download simulator for the same but only simulator for iOS 7 is available as shown in screenshot. How do I install simulator for iOS 8?
The iOS 8.0 simulator runtime is not supported on Xcode 6.1 or later. It is not expected to be available for download.
