Please let me know how to get the ipad simulator 5.0 / 5.1. We are using xcode 4.5 and the default simulator is 6.0. We need to test it in ipad 5.0 also. Googling also doesnot seem to provide appropriate answers.
Xcode - Preferences - Downloads - Components - iOS 5.0/5.1 Simulator.
UPDATE: I found this post, Xcode 4.5 and iOS 5.1 Simulator sounds like there is something error with Xcode 4.5 and iOS 5.1 simulator. Try to upgrade to Xcode 4.5.2.

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'm not able to test my app on iOS 6.0 simulator, because it disappeared. I definitely remember I downloaded it and for some time I could use it. When I click on more simulators to download it now, there is only iOS 7.0 and iOS 6.1 simulators. And for all I know, I have set the deployment target to 6.0 everywhere. Any ideas?
Apple withdrew the 6.0 simulator at the server end, so it is no longer listed. If you really want it, you can move it into Xcode from another version of Xcode (it's obvious where it goes).
The latest Xcode (5.1 as of writing this) only supports iOS 6.1 simulator. If you wish to test on iOS 6.0, you need to test on a device.
Technically speaking, there is very little API difference between 6.0 and 6.1, so you can test 6.1 for most scenarios just fine.
Still we can use ios 6 simulator in xcode 5.1.
If you cant see iOS 6 simulator in downloads. Try this one,
download xcode 4 sdk and copy the ios 6 simulator sdk from xcode4,
[Application->xcode 4 ->contents->developer->platforms->iphone
simulator platform->developer->sdk folder.]
And paste ios 6 simulator sdk to xcode 5, [Application->xcode5->
contents->developer->platforms->iphonesimulator
platform->developer->sdk folder]
I followed this steps and got ios 6 simulator,. see below
I am new to iOS. With iOS 7 release I am struggling to find how to target my app for previous versions but building from new iOS 7.
I do not know if at all this is possible. but iOS has changed app UI totally, but can not do all change now. So I have been told to build it on new version but target should be for old, so that no UI changes to be done.
Something like building from Xcode 5 but iOS should be 6.1. I do have both Xcode running on my Mac.
If I open both it shows: Xcode 5 - iOS 7, Xcode 4.6 - iOS 6.1. How can I use Xcode 5 to target iOS 6.1?
As far as I know you can't deploy only for iOS6.x using xcode 5, but you can deploy for iOS7 and iOS6, setting the deployment target ad Raptor said.
If you want to deploy only for iOS6 you can download the old xcode 4.6.3 from apple site and make the procedure from there.
I guess your question is How to build iOS app with iOS6.1 SDK in XCode5. Am i right?
You must install iOS6.1 SDK (iphoneos6.1 not simulator iOS6.1) to your XCode first. This question Is it possible to install iOS6 SDK on Xcode 5? could help you to install iOS6.1 SDK.
Than you could configure your project using iOS6.1 SDK to build your app like below:
If you are looking to test your app on lower iOS simulators.
go to Xcode - > Preferences - > Downloads
Over here download the desired simulator.
Once you have downloaded and installed it you can test your application on lower iOS 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.
I have used iOS 4.3 simulator from old xcode version and installed it to my current xcode 4.5 to run an application developed using iOS SDK 6.0. It is crashing so I updated the iOS 4.3 simulator from the preferences in xcode 4.5 then it worked just fine.
I guess I will ask the users to do so but is there any way to avoid that?
