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.

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'm working on a new project having iOS 9 as deployment target in Xcode 9.1. In the simulator I have the iPhone 4s but its iOS version is not displayed. I searched about the support of iOS 9 in this iPhone and I found some answers saying that the iPhone 4s is supporting the iOS 9 and others saying the opposite so I'm confused. At this date, is iOS 9 supported on iPhone 4s?
Yes, iOS 9 is supported on iPhone 4S. but iOS 10 is not supported. Last supported is iOS 9.3.5
You can see the Simulator and iOS in XCode, Window > Devices and Simulator or Cmd+Shift+2.
In the Simulator Tab, you can see the list of simulators. Normally by defaults, iPhone 4S Simulator is installed with iOS 8.1.
If you need to see more iPhone 4S with iOS 9.3 e.g. you can press the '+' on the left below to add more simulators. And check on the 'Show as run destination' to run the app on this simulator in XCode.
If you do not have iOS 9.3 simulator, you can choose the option to download more simulator or do it from XCode > Preferences > Components
I am using xcode 7.0, when i connect my iPhone device to xcode, it is showing that device is unavailable. My iPhone iOS version is 9.2.
You need to have an Xcode in version 7.2 or higher to run device with iOS 9.2.
You can find the answer in the below link.
Ineligible Devices section appeared in Xcode 6.x.x
As #Aleksandra you need to use xcode 7.2.
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.
I am not sure if i am doing it right. Please help.
To add simulator, goto > windows > devices
problem:
1) When I tried to add simulator for iphone 5 or 4 , it show iOS version 8.3
the dialogbox show :
Simulator name : iphone 4s
Device Type : iphone 4s
iOS version : iOS8.3
Is this correct? iphone 4s should be using ios lower than ios 8 right?
How to I do testing for iphone 4/5 using simulator ?
In the Xcode menu, go to Windows > Devices, and at the bottom left click on the + button.
Xcode 6 only supports iOS 7 and iOS8. You could use iOS 7 for iPhone 4s or iPhone 5, just install the iOS 7.1 simulator from
Xcode > Preferences > Downloads.
iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S can be updated to run iOS 8, so it is perfectly ok to test iOS 8 with these phones.
Is this correct? iphone 4s should be using ios lower than ios 8 right?
It is correct. I have an actual iPhone 4s and it is running iOS 8.3. (In fact, it is my primary development testing device for iOS 8.)
You can install earlier simulators, but there is nothing wrong with what you're seeing.
(And yes, this means that in order to develop for iOS 8, you need to support screen sizes ranging from the tiny iPhone 4s to the massive iPhone 6 Plus. Good luck.)
