Does anyone have this issue? I'm able to download and run the 7.1 simulator but I do not see the option to download 7.0.
Don't know if you figured this out already on your own but in case you still haven't here goes.
1) Click Xcode on the top left-hand side of screen.
2) Click on Preferences
3) Click Downloads
4) Under components click the simulator you wish to install. It takes a few minutes though.

I am a beginner in Xcode and I just updated it to 7.2.1. Before I did this I never had a problem with running my app, but now it only shows me 'Generic Device', instead of the regular simulators I use. Anyone know how I can solve this?
Sure, you can add any simulator you like. Just open Xcode and under the "Window" menu, click "Devices".
Then, you can click the little plus in the lower left to add a Simulator.
Just select the one you want, and name it, and you should be all set!
You may also need to actually download the simulators, if for some reason they're no longer on your computer. Go to the Xcode preferences, and then in the downloads tab you'll see simulators listed.
Before I updated from xcode 6 to 7, it was just right next to the run and stop button.
When i just click on the run button, it opens the iphone 5 simulator and from the simulator's menu, if i choose Hardware > device > iphone 6 plus, it's just completely black. If I try to run the app again, it just says that it's running on iphone 5 in Xcode.
How do I choose a different simulator?? or run on a physical device connected to the macbook?
This worked seamlessly on xcode6 with the use of the device dropdown menu beside the run and stop button. but now, that menu is gone.
Another question: I am unable to find ios9 simulator under preferences > downloads
In one of the pre-versions of Xcode 7 I had the same issue. The problem was, that there were no simulators installed.
Go to Xcode -> Window -> Devices a window will pop up. Click on the plus button in the bottom left corner and configure some devices.
The device selector should show up in Xcode.
Turns out Xcode did not finish downloading. There was an error when I checked the update. I made it complete the download and xcode is okay again
I just reopened Xcode and now I only see 6s simulators. All the others have just disappeared. How do I add them back ?
EDIT :
Silly me ,I missed that the scheme and target somehow changed to Apple Watch and I didn't notice. Should I delete this question :P .
Open Xcode, click on 'Xcode' in top left of the screen, select 'Preferences...', once a separate window opens up click on the 2nd last tab called 'Downloads'. Inside, check the installed components.
If you deleted any previously installed simulators, then you should be able to re-download them here.
check whether simulators are installed or not by preferences section in xcode. Or it might just be glitch. Restart your computer and Xcode
Just go to Xcode -> window -> devices
follow this steps
1)
2) select the devices options, you will be able to see this screen
3) click on add button. and add the simulator you want like this
Just updated to Xcode 6, midway through working on a project. Now the only destination that comes up is my own iPhone, which is annoying as I would rather prefer a simulator.
I've already tried messing with the schemes as suggested by other answers and restarted my computer, any ideas?
First, you have to download other iOS versions as owenfi suggested, however that is not all.
If you want the simulators to show up in the scheme menu/popup, then you also have to open Devices menu (Cmd + Shift + 2 or Window/Devices) and add the required simulators. You can choose between all devices and the iOS versions you've downloaded. Have a look on the screenshot below.
Download support for additional simulators in Xcode Preferences > Downloads.
I never understood but after some installation they don't show up. One easy way is create them in the devices window. Open xcode go into Window then devices, press the plus button at the bottom left and create yours.
Changing Deployment Target worked for me..
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 !!
