iOS Simulator Massively Zoomed - ios

It looks like this (what I actually see):
However, a screenshot taken from the simulator looks like this:
Here's another pair:
I've tried uninstalling the simulators, but that doesn't fix the issue. I've tried
⌘+1, ⌘+2, ⌘+3, but that hasn't fixed anything. I think this is because of a recent system upgrade to OS X 10.10.2 and Xcode 6.1.1. Is the easiest/best/only path a full uninstall of Xcode and downloading an older version? Please give me an alternative.

This is a known bug in OS X 10.10.2 beta.

IOS Simulators shows a black screen after I installed xCode 10 (I have mac that is from 2011)

Ever since I tried to install and text XCode 10 my iPad simulators has a black screen.
I have tried to run this command defaults write com.apple.CoreSimulator.IndigoFramebufferServices FramebufferRendererHint 3
but it is still not working short of reinstalling everything I don't know what to do.
Seems like this has been fixed in Xcode 10.1 beta 3, at least for me.

Xcode 9 (9A235) iPhone X gone and strange Simulators: iPhone2017-A, -B -C?

I just downloaded Xcode 9 trying to get some test on iPhone X.
However it's really buggy. For some reason all my simulators are gone.. in both Xcode's(I have also Xcode 8 ofc. to be with stable).
So, in Xcode 9 I want to add iPhone X, but it's there. Only this list:
I've added strange iPhone2017-A and get this:
I just removed some unused simulators like old iPad.. after that iPhone X is gone, but I saw it was there..
How to restore it? Anyone else got the same issue?
Yeah, iPhone2017-C is the iPhone X.
If iPhone X simulator is not showing in simulators list. But iPhone2017-A, iPhone2017-B, iPhone2017-C are showing then you can use iPhone2017-C as a iPhone X simulator.
-iPhone2017-C is the iPhone X.

What causes visual glitches with Xcode 9's iOS Simulator and how can I fix them?

When running applications on the simulator with Xcode 9, I regularly experience a handful of visual glitches, which include red device identifier labels and content that duplicates itself and leaves pixel mess after it moves. I did not have these issues with Xcode 8.
These occur regardless of the OS of the simulator, I replicated the issue with iOS 11 and 10.
This might be unrelated, but I use a legacy version of iClipboard (6.0.0) and a similar glitch persists inside the search bar sometimes.
What causes these glitches and what can I do to fix them?
Re-installing macOS High Sierra latest version (10.13.4 (17E202)) will solve this issue, i had similar issue with my Mac-book Pro.
Please be sure you are hard formatting and then re-installing the fresh OS.
Try switching to the last Xcode. Xcode 11.5.0 is the latest current stable version.

iOS 8 and Xcode 6 Simulator Display Out of Alignment

The display is stuck on zoomed in. I did a clean install Xcode install and it's still broken.
I just updated to the Xcode 6.2 Beta and it works on the retina display of my macbook. Unfortunately it just shows a white screen on my main monitor ...
Maybe the want to force me to use the MB screen as a simulator display ;-)
Having the same issue since the Yosemite beta update.
It's definitely not a permanent fix but moving the simulator to a screen with a different pixel scale factor makes the simulator usable on one or another of the screens.

IOS-Simulator in Xcode does not show iPhone -like but regular window

It used to work properly, with 100% as well as 50%. Then I did not use the simulator for some time but only the console, having moved the simulator almost out of site. Now I need it but realize that instead of an iPhone surface just a regular window is shown, like in this thread:
XCode iPhone simulator does not look like an iPhone
I read lots of proposal I found on the web to this problem and followed the advices.
So I changed the size to 100%, tried different iPhone devices. And finally I deleted the Xcode application from the application folder and removed all remaining items by putting in the order
sudo /Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
into the terminal.
I downloaded Xcode again.
The problem is still there.
The very strange thing about it: It did work properly when I installed Xcode for the first time, about 6 weeks ago.
As far as I know it depends on the deployment target whether the simulator shows the iPhone frame or not. I think if you set iOS 7 as the target you won't be able to see the iPhone image around your app screen. (For example, I have never seen an iPhone image in the simulator for a 4'' device.)
Try changing the deployment target and play around with different devices under Hardware / Device in the simulator.
Edit:
Here is a more detailed answer.
It's one of the replies to the question that you linked.
You better select your simulator and set Hardware -> Device -> iPhone
Note 1: If you want the simulator should looks like iPhone do not select the retina simulator.
Note 2: You must check the target version of you app in xcode it must be below 7.0
Note 3: Keep the scale of simulator always 100%.
Are you sure the current project you're working on is an iOS and not an OS X project? You can verify this be looking at the project's folder. If the app ist for OS X, there is most likely a .xib file. If it's a iOS project, there should be a storyboard file.
As the OS X apps use windows, like the one you described, this could be a hint.
I have found the solution for the problem I had (and other users as well):
At PREFERENCES / DOWNLOADS older versions of the iOS simulator are available. While at the moment the current version is 7.0 (beginning January 2014), versions 6.0 and 6.1 are being offered for download.
After downloading I could chose more devices than with version 7.0. Now also the non-Retina iPhone is available.
As a result, the iPhone surface is being displayed when set to 100% (at WINDOW - SIZE).
Thanks to everyone helping!
