The settings app crashes in iOS simulator, running iOS 6.0, retina 4 inch. Anyone noticed this? Any workaround?

I am testing an iOS app in Xcode simulator on iPad Pro with iOS 9.3. There are black bars appear on the right and bottom on simulator as shown in image. The app is working fine on all other iPhone and iPad devices. Please suggest.
It's been hinted at that the iOS simulator can be resized to show the full size keyboard in the iPad Pro (http://www.fastcompany.com/3047871/tech-forecast/the-ipad-pro-doesnt-need-a-physical-keyboard), which presumably would allow for the testing of an app in that screen size, but I haven't found a way to do it. The GM seed of Xcode 7 even has the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, but no iPad Pro in sight. Anybody have any ideas?
If you run on the iPad Pro simulator in Xcode 7.1 Beta and use a storyboard (not an assets file) as your launch screen, it works great.
Check this thread:
iPad Pro launch image and App icon
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.)
I have an app designed for the iPhone only as the device family within XCode is set to iPhone. On an iPad Mini running a version prior to iOS 8.2, the app was treated as an iPad app without the (1x)/(2x) button at the bottom. This was causing crashes and confusion for my end users.
The solution is to upgrade to iOS 8.2 or later on the iPad.
I have currently updated my Xcode from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 to support apps for iOS 8.0. But I could not find any 3.5" simulator. Is the 3.5" simulator has been removed, or Apple is not going to support the 3.5" iPhone Devices any more?
You can pick the iphone 4S, which has a 3.5" screen.
For XCode 6 and onwards XCode has simulators based on devices as shown in following screenshot
Apple is still supporting iPhone 4s with latest iOS 8 , so you can select that
From Xcode 6 beta onwards apple have added simulators with device names so you can pick iPhone 4s for 3.5" simulator and iPhone 5 for 4" simulator.
Open Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
There you can download the simulator for the iOS which you want.
