Environment: Version 8.2 beta (8C30a)
My schema list only devices.
How do I change the iOS version in simulator?
I can see the available iOS Simulators...
...but they're not listed in the schema list.
Nor is their a way to discriminate amongst the iOS versions within schema manager.
The list of available simulators is dictated by three factors:
It will not show you simulators whose iOS version is prior to that of your current app's deployment target. If you want to see some recent, prior iOS simulators, make sure your app's deployment target is set accordingly.
If you go to Xcode "Preferences" - "Components", you can confirm which iOS simulators are installed on your machine.
In Xcode's "Devices" window (shift+command+2), as shown in the snapshot in your original question, you can configure particular simulator devices for your Xcode environment.
Open your xcode and press command + shift + 2.
Click on left bottom + button and your new simulator with required iOS version.
Click create, now you are ready to use the new simulator.
After adding the #availability & #availability flags which allowed me to get a successful compiled under and older distribution target, I noticed that the iOSes came back:

I have a brand new Samsung A10 with Pie on it.
I'm attempting to run the Sample Application provided in MediaPlugin:
https://github.com/jamesmontemagno/MediaPlugin
At first I was getting this error when I tried to build:
Invalid value 'armeabi' in $(AndroidSupportedAbis). This ABI is no
longer supported. Please update your project properties to remove the
old value. If the properties page does not show an 'armeabi' checkbox,
un-check and re-check one of the other ABIs and save the changes.
Then I did some reasearch and went to Android Properties / Android Options / Advanced and unselected armeabo-v7a.
As I understand it this will remove 32 but support, which I'm fine with.
Now I get this error:
ADB0020: Android ABI mismatch. You are deploying an app supporting
'x86;x86_64;arm64-v8a' ABIs to an incompatible device of ABI
'armeabi-v7a;armeabi'. You should either create an emulator matching
one of your app's ABIs or add 'armeabi-v7a' to the list of ABIs your
app builds for.
I'm targeting a new A10 Samsung phone with Android Pie on it. I can't see where to set the 'device ABI', though why would a new Pie phone be interseted in armeabi-v7a anyway?
Where can I set the 'device ABI' or otherwise fix this?
I can't find anything on Google. Thanks.
UPDATE
I've found this work around which is as worrying as it is bizarre:
Untick the armeabi-v7a option
Build
Re-tick the option
Build
Deploy

I'd like to understand what's going on here rather than just work around it.
This is only an issue with my A10 physical Samsung phone, in emulators it seems to work fine.
I got this error before. You could untick all the supported architectures to tick all of them like below. Delete the obj and bin folder of project to clean and rebuild. Most of times, it works.
Different Android devices use different CPUs, which in turn support different instruction sets. Each combination of CPU and instruction set has its own Application Binary Interface (ABI).
For more support of Android ABIs, you could refer to the Android ABIs guides.
https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis
To fix this issue on a Xamarin.Forms Android application, Right click on your android project and then select Properties > Android Options > Advanced.
You will see a dropdown for supported architectures. Select x84 & x86_64.
The app should now build and run on the emulator.
go to your project folder and edit yourproject.csproj
and remove starting <AndroidSupportedAbis> line completely.
add:
<AndroidSupportedAbis>armeabi-v7a;x86_64;arm64-v8a;x86</AndroidSupportedAbis>
save and debug. (changes accept on visual studio)
Enjoy.
Do not setup retry abis on xamarin.
I changed to Debug mode from Release mode after signing a release.
For Mac:
Android Project -> Option -> Android Build -> Advanced. Then tick all.
Click Option from Solution Explorer for Android:
Click Android Build then Advanced:
I have downloaded the xcode5_GM_seed and install it, but I cannot find iOS7 simulator in components.
Where can I find iOS 7 simulator?
XCode 5 comes with iOS 7 sdk and simulator automatically. However, since iOS 7 is not supported in old "iPhone" and supported in "iPhone Retina..." and "iPad.." so you need to select appropriate iOS simulator in your project... (your old/existing projects seems to be selecting to "iPhone" simulator)
Since iOS 7 does not support non-retina devices, you need to select one of the retina devices to see iOS7 simulator option.
If you can't find a simulator version you're looking for, chances are that you need to download it from the components section. Navigate to Preferences → Downloads and make sure you download all the simulator builds that you may need.
In Xcode preferences > downloads. But until the OS is released, you will need a paid ios developer account.
For Xcode 6:
In iOS Simulator, go to Hardware | Device | Manage Devices...
Click the + in the bottom left and choose whatever Simulator you want.
I have a weird issue... I'm unable to find the simulator as a device in order to test my application. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? In a new project, it is available though.

Here's what happened to me ... when I updated to the latest version of XCode (4.3.2) I didn't bother to uninstall the previous version. I mistakenly opened my iOS 5.1 targeted project in the older version of XCode that does not know about 5.1 and as a result the simulator was not available. So i would check for the following:
See which version of XCode you're currently running
Try checking your iOS Deployment Target ... (Targets -> Deployment). If iOS 5.1 is selected change it to iOS 5.0 (the simulator will show up immediately)
In additional to G.Bickham's answer, please make sure the iOS Simulator is downloaded.
To verify the download status, go to Xcode's Preferences > Downloads > Components > iOS Simulator
I'm developing an app which is iOS 4 compatible, so my deployment target is set to iOS 4.0.
Whenever I drop a UINavigationController onto a UITabBar, I get these two warnings:
warning: Attribute Unavailable: Defines Presentation Context is not available prior to Xcode 4.2.
warning: Attribute Unavailable: Defines Presentation Context on iOS versions prior to 5.0.
The UINavigationController functions as expected, in fact, the entire app runs perfectly. But these two warnings are driving me nuts!
Also, the moment I delete the UINavigationController the warnings disappear.
Just uncheck the "Defines Context" checkbox in the attributes inspector. (Double-click on MainWindow.xib, select the navigation controller, then go to View->Utilities->Attributes Inspector.) That'll get rid of the warnings.
You are getting these warnings because you are using iOS 5.0 SDK features with a 4.x deployment target.
All, if not, most of the new 5.0 hotness, including ARC and Storyboards, is completely backwards compatible with iOS 4.x (I don't remember if 4.0 or 4.3 is the lowest supported version, check the docs), it will work as intended, but Xcode is going to warn you anyways.
You should be able to disable that warning if it really bothers you, but I wouldn't. That said, Apple does not currently accept applications built/archived with the Xcode 4.2 beta for submission to the App Store. This means you need to use Xcode 4.0/4.1 in a production environment.
Before we go any further, you should know that Xcode 4.2/iOS 5 is beta software, it is under NDA (you agreed to this when you joined the Apple developer program) and cannot be discussed in the public domain. This means you won't be able get much help from places in the public eye, like StackOverflow, as good as it can be. But, since I'm here and this is a very high level question, I can help :)
In the future, if you have iOS beta questions or issues, you should hit up the Apple Developer Beta Forums (an excellent resource, always search before you post), or #iphonedev on irc.freenode.net for not-beta stuff (I'll be there, say hi!)
If you're developing an application for release on the App Store:
You need to be developing with Xcode 4.0 or 4.1, Apple will not accept applications built/archived with 4.2. (I know I repeated myself, but people seem to miss this often)
And, although 4.2b7 supports developing for older frameworks better than previous Xcode betas have (by allowing you to install previous versions of the simulator), you will still find yourself accidentally using 5.0 SDK functions all over the place, as the code completion/interface builder very aggressively favors all of the new hotness. This is because the beta is for trying new things, not stable application development.
This means you need to switch back to using Xcode 4.0/4.1 for production, if you don't have it installed, or you overwrote the stable version with the beta, do not try to install 4.0/4.1 on top of the 4.2 beta, weird things will happen and both versions will start acting really weird and and Xcode will crash at least twice as often.
The best thing to do in this situation, is to follow the below steps. Make sure you don't skip anything, otherwise you'll have to restart the whole process.
Make sure you have your code committed and pushed up,
uninstalling Xcode like this temporarily removes git. (This was an
issue for me at work once)
Download the installers for Xcode 4.0/.1, and 4.2 if you intend to keep experimenting. (if you already
have both downloaded, this whole process won't take more than 5
minutes on an SSD)
Uninstall the Xcode beta from the command line using this command:
sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all (more info here)
Restart your computer (this is important, do not skip it!!!)
Install the most recent non-beta version of Xcode and resume development.
If you want to use both versions of Xcode (4.0/4.1 and 4.2):
You must install the beta AFTER 4.0/4.1 is installed, otherwise you will be overwriting new things with old things, and this will give you many, many obscure headaches. I also recommend restarting between installations.
You need to install 4.2 after 4.0/4.1, and to a different folder (I use /Xcode4beta/, don't put it within the folder that contains 4.0/4.1, either). I've found I learn about the new hotness best if I keep separate iOS5 branches of my work, and update what I can when I have some free time.
If you have the iOS5 beta installed on your phone, and Xcode 4.0/4.1 won't let you build to your phone:
This is because Xcode needs to grab the debug symbols from the phone before it can be used for devleopment, but only the Xcode beta can do this for an iOS5 beta device, so follow these steps:
Make sure your phone is plugged in and turned on, and that your provisioning profile/certificates all check out.
Close the project in Xcode 4.0/4.1.
Open the project back up in Xcode 4.2, and check organizer. You should either already have a green dot next to your phone (assuming all of your provisioning is working), or it should be gathering the debug symbols. Let this finish, and then build your project. It doesn't need to be a successful build, nor do you have to install the application to the phone, sometimes you don't even need to build, Xcode can be a fickle mistress.
Close the project in Xcode 4.2.
Open the project back up in Xcode 4.0, you should now be able to build and install to your phone as you normally would.
Xcode 4.0/4.1 should now be able to use your device for development until you restart the computer.
Resolution is here:
How can I fix "Freeform Size simulated metrics are not available prior to Xcode 4.2" warnings?
You just need to change the development version of your xib file to Xcode 4.2 (default is Xcode 4.1)
View Controller and Navigation Controller setting or options name ( attributes inspector )
Define Context ( Checked ) unchecked.
This is the message while trying to run under XCode 4 (it used to work under XCode 3):
No provisioned iOS devices are available. Connect an iOS device or choose an iOS simulator as the destination.
I have profiles for my device for this app... where should I be looking to correct this?
The problem is that your iOS Deployment Target in Project-> Build Settings is different from the current version of iOS on your real device.
You're asking where to find it:
In XCode 4 there is a new button - look for the big
"Organizer button"
which is at the TOP RIGHT.
Physically connect your device and then click Devices. It seems that the new "Organizer button" is one of the "most-missed" things in the transition to XCode4.
Note, the questioner is asking: "WHERE should I be looking to correct this?"
I was having extra trouble because of my Enterprise License, but still updated the iPads. I didn't have to change anything in the Build Settings to lower. But the main thing that I had a problem with was in the Organizer I needed to hit "Use for Development" button.
Kind of an old post, and may not be the best way or a rookie thing to miss but wanted to help anyone out.
My problem similar to those above were related to having the deployment target set too high for the version installed on the phone. Would be nice if it gave a more useful error message. I spent hours messing with my provisioning profile trying to fix it, when the real problem was the older version of the software on the phone.
I had the same problem. The reason was simply, that my ipad had not been update to version 4.3.
This just happened to me for iOS5 with xcode 4.2.
The answer is to go into organiser, select your device, and press the "Develop with this device" button (or similar wording).
Then go back and build, and it should work..
I received this error while having an iPad properly connected.
Some info:
Ipad iOS version: 4.2.1
XCode 4.2
XCode project created with "iOS Application / Empty Application" template.
The problem was that I had to specify the "iOS Deployment Target" to 4.2 in more than one place!
That is, both in the "Build Settings" and in the "Summary".
Very odd, and definitely another XCode4 annoyance.
I got this error in Organizer - "Could not support development.". I tried rebooting the iOS device and it worked for me :)
Check that the Executable File (also known as CFBundleExecutable) in the Info.plist file is set to ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} as opposed to any hardcoded value. This will ensure that even if you change your project name or target name or scheme name, that it still works.
you need to install the proper version of iOS.in my case it is iOS 4.0 - 4.1 Device Debugging Support
GOTO --> XCode Preferences -> Downloads --> Component
there are all updates available for your iOS click Install.
This is works for me.
It looks like this error can also come about if the "Product Name" in your target's build settings does not match the value of "CFBundleExecutable" in your info.plist
It looks like to me this is the general error Apple gives if the executable is not installed correctly on the device. When the debugger tries to attach it looks for the executable name and if it's not there they give this error. Touch one to debug.
Go to build option and select valid compiler.
Chose your right iOS Deployment version
