My OSX version is 10.9.5, and I want to use simulator 6.1 in XCode 6.0.1. However, there is no iOS 6.1 Simulator
XCode->Preference->Downloads
to download, and i move the directory named "iPhoneSimulator6.1.sdk" to
/Applications/Xcode6.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs
which doesn't work for me either. Can anyone use simulator 6.1 in Xcode 6.0.1?
Only the iOS 7, 7.1 and 8 simulators are available in Xcode 6.
In order to use the 6.0 version of the simulator you would need to search for and install an older version of Xcode.

I have the Xcode Version 6.0.1 (6A317) on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with all iOS 8 simulators. I have also downloaded the iOS 7.1 simulators.
I am developing an app for iOS 8 and iOS 7.
The problem I encounter is that Xcode 6 doesn't show the iOS 7.1 simulators in the devices menu. At some point it did show them but on my newly created Xcode 6 project it does not.
I was looking at some stackoverflow solutions.I have addded the iOS 7.1 simulators Window - Devices - SIMULATORS. They are also checked with "Show in the Run Destionations Menu",however they are not shown.
I found a workaround by setting the Project and Target Deployment Target to 7.1. However, this is a stupid solution since for every test I need to manually switch them forth and back 7.1-8.0
This is my first ipad app and it worked perfectly under Xcode 5.1.1. iOS 7 and iOS 8 (CREATED UNDER Xcode 5.1.1.). Now I have created a project in Xcode 6.0.1. and the project doesn't have the simulators showing correctly and 95% of the app doesn't work.
I am new to iOS development but I suppose that this is a bug, but I am unsure. Please help.
The deployment target is the minimum OS version you intend to support.
As you stated, you need to set the deployment target to 7.1 in order to see the 7.1 simulators. If your deployment target is 8.0, the 7.1 simulators will not be available in the run destinations menu. This is the correct behavior because you can't run on iOS 7.1 if your deployment target is 8.0.
I already had deployment target 7.0 and simulator still wasn't available for 7.1.
I fixed the issue though by going into Xcode preferences, selected Downloads and re-downled the missing 7.1 simulators under 'Components'. Although I previously had 7.1 simulator, the Xcode 6 upgrade had seemed to remove them.
I have installed new Xcode 7.0 which showing ios 9.0 simulator alone.
Already my Xcode 6.4 had iOS version 7.1 and 8 series simulators.
How can I add the simulators from my old Xocde 6.4 to new Xocde 7 without downloading.
Please help me out this..
You need to install the necessary simulators in each version of Xcode separately. Use Xcode -> Preference -> Downloads option.
Also iOS 7.x simulators not available for Xcode 7
It allows only to copy simulators from one machine to another machine for same Xcode versions

Can I debug my app on iOS 7 from Xcode 7?
From what I can tell Xcode 7 just ignores any plugged in devices with iOS 7 installed. Is this just a fluke or is this a permanent change to Xcode?
(Using: Xcode 7 beta 6, iPhone 4S iOS 7.1)
The BAD news is that you can't test your app on iOS 7 simulators. At least not with Xcode 7.3.1. If you are using previous Xcode beta then you should check this answer.
The GOOD news is that you can test it on real device running iOS 7. I tested mine with Xcode 7.3.1 on iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2.
UPDATE:
The only way I have found so far to test your app on iOS 7 simulators is by installing OS X 10.10 Yosemite and using Xcode 6 (tested with OS X 10.10.5 and Xcode 6.4) side by side with Xcode 7.
UPDATE: Xcode version updated to 7.3.1.
The Xcode 7 beta does not support iOS 7.
It's not necessarily a permanent change, but the general way that the beta works.
Once Xcode 7 is released, the earlier runtimes may be supported, and you will be able to test on devices that are running older releases.
I just upgraded my iPhone5s to iOS 8.1 from 8.0.2 and now XCode says it is an ineligible device and I can't debug on it. Any ideas?
You will need to install Xcode 6.1. Once you do, connect your iOS 8.1 device so the symbols can be processed. Once this is done you will be able to use the iOS 8.1 device with Xcode 6.1, 6.0, or earlier versions.
I have installed XCode 4.5.2. It has simulator for 6.0 only. I want simulator for iOS 6.0.1 iPad. Can somebody please help how can I get it for 6.0.1? I checked for updates on mac app store and it is the latest XCode. If I install Xcode 4.6, it has 6.1 simulator but not 6.0.1
Thanks,
Anish
I don't believe there is a way to get a simulator for iOS 6.0.1. For iOS 5, they didn't have an iOS 5.1.1 simulator, it was just 5.0 and 5.1.
The best thing I can recommend is that you test your code on a device running iOS 6.0.1.
