Unable to install iOS Simulator 8.4 - ios

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.

Xcode Simulator does not show additionally installed iOS versions

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.

The simulator runtime in not available

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 7.1 iOS Simulators looks weird

After updated Xcode to 7.1
iOS Simulator looks weird as the picture.
Does anyone had the same problem like this?
I can't specify which version of iOS when debugging via the simulator.
After updating xcode 7.1 looking same but you can know which vesion IOS when debugging after running app in simulator ..
Just go to the path:~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices
and delete all devices in this folder
Open the Xcode and go to the Devices, add your Simulator.
You have to Manage it from
Window > Device >
Delete all Simulator and Create New Simulator as per requirement

New ios7 update & xcode 5 no device found

I just updated my iPhone4s to ios7 and xcode to 5.
I am trying to run my app on the iphone which worked for 6.1.x and 4.xx. However,
after the update xcode claims not to find my connected iphone testing my app.
Xcode cannot run using the selected device.
No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination?
Window -> Organizer.
Click on device tab.
Click on the iOS device on the left side and click the button 'Use for development'.
Check in Organizer if device is used for development or has lost this property on xcode actualization.
check the organizer like Rauru Ferro said. It might need some time to update the settings in Xcode. You should see a progress bar loading, after that everything should work fine.

How can I choose an iOS simulator as the destination in Xcode?

I am an iOS noob. I had a project running on the iPhone simulator in Xcode 4.4. To resolve a different issue, I un-installed 4.4 and then installed 4.5.1. Now when I try to run my project on the simulator I get an error "Xcode cannot run using the selected device: No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination."
How do I choose an iOS simulator as the destination?
Where do I click?
There should be a menu in the top left region of the toolbar section of the IDE. It should have a run button, a stop button, and then the name of your app and a label saying IOS Device. Click view-->show toolbar if you don't see it. Click on IOS Device and you should get a drop down menu of devices. The simulator should be in that list.
This should do it, its very simple actually
Just in case anyone finds this helpful --
Sometimes your version of xCode doesn't support the deployment targets.
My iOS simulator did not show up as a destination until I set the deployment target down to 7.0 (it seems like 7.1 may not be supported by xCode 5.0, but only 5.1 [not confirmed]).
Hope that helps if anyone stumbles across it.
For me the problem was that the selection in the toolbar only shows up for a certain width of the XCode window
I was able to add devices to the Simulators list by clicking on Window->Devices (Shift+Command+2), and clicking on the + at the bottom left to add Simulators.
After you click on Create, the device(s) will show up
Make sure to set Supported Platforms correctly
I had the same issue. The simulator would run a different device than chosen in the size field under "Simulated Matrix".
I dug around and found in Xcode's menu: Product/Destination. screenshot I was then able to run the simulator for the correct size.
Hope this helps !!
