How to get iPad PRO simulator on Xcode 7.0.1 - ios

In Xcode 7.0.1 there's an iPad Air 2 and an iPad Retina simulators. Is iPad Retina the iPad Pro? If not, how do I get iPad Pro simulator for Xcode 7.0.1.
(I know Xcode 7.1 has iPad Pro simulators also but for some reason I can't download an upgrade to Xcode 7.1 from the App store, it always just stops downloading and installing without giving me any error messages. I also tried downloading it from developers downloads page and that did't work either. Maybe a download issue with Xcode 7.1.)

iPad pro simulator is not available for xcode 7.0.1 you will have to upgrade to 7.1 to use it and iPad Retina is not iPad Pro in xcode 7.0.1, iPad Retina is 9.7 inch device

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.

Xamarin iOS: Unable to find simulator for iPad mini and no latest iOS version 11.4.1

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).

How to test iPad Pro on the iOS simulator

It's been hinted at that the iOS simulator can be resized to show the full size keyboard in the iPad Pro (http://www.fastcompany.com/3047871/tech-forecast/the-ipad-pro-doesnt-need-a-physical-keyboard), which presumably would allow for the testing of an app in that screen size, but I haven't found a way to do it. The GM seed of Xcode 7 even has the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, but no iPad Pro in sight. Anybody have any ideas?
If you run on the iPad Pro simulator in Xcode 7.1 Beta and use a storyboard (not an assets file) as your launch screen, it works great.

How to download iOS 8 simulator Xcode 6?

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.

3.5" Simulator in Xcode 6.0.1

I have currently updated my Xcode from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 to support apps for iOS 8.0. But I could not find any 3.5" simulator. Is the 3.5" simulator has been removed, or Apple is not going to support the 3.5" iPhone Devices any more?
You can pick the iphone 4S, which has a 3.5" screen.
For XCode 6 and onwards XCode has simulators based on devices as shown in following screenshot
Apple is still supporting iPhone 4s with latest iOS 8 , so you can select that
From Xcode 6 beta onwards apple have added simulators with device names so you can pick iPhone 4s for 3.5" simulator and iPhone 5 for 4" simulator.
Open Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
There you can download the simulator for the iOS which you want.
