I recently downloaded the Xcode 8 beta and as I was adding iOS 10 simulators, I noticed I didn't have a simulator (9.3 or 10.0) for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. I added the iOS 10 simulator, but when I tried to add a 9.3 simulator, I saw that that wasn't an option for the iPad Pro (9.7-inch; the 12.9-inch works fine).
Is this intended, or is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
There's no functional difference between the iPad Pro 9.7" in the iOS 9.3 Simulator and the iPad Air 2 in the iOS 9.3 Simulator. The differences only manifest (in the simulator) in iOS 10. Thus, there was no reason to add it for iOS 9.3 (and Xcode 7.3).

XCode 7.0.1 shows the iOS 8.4 and 8.3 Simulators as already downloaded. But the iOS 8.4 simulator is not available to create new simulator instances in the drop down menu.
The iOS 8.3 simulator works as expected.
I would like to redownload this simulator to see if that makes it functional.
I found similar situations for XCode 6, but those solutions do not seem to work with XCode 7.0.1.
The iOS 8.3 simulator works just fine.

Posting the steps here in case anyone else has similar issues and also to mark this as answered.
There was a zero byte iOS 8.4.simruntime file in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes.
Deleting that file enabled the option to redownload the 8.4 simulator from the Preferences/Downloads screen. However, the simulator that was created from this action was reporting as 8.4 but was in fact 9.0
Deleting all the simulators using the XCode/Window/Devices screen and then rebooting the computer enabled being able to create a simulator that is the correct version.
Thanks to all who contributed ideas
Maybe try this from the location of dmg files in apple.com:
http://devimages.apple.com/downloads/xcode/simulators/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneSimulatorSDK8_4-8.4.1.1435785476.dmg
Installed the Xcode 7 beta. Can't run any code because Xcode only seems to allow me to choose "iOS Device" destination and none of the sim devices I would normally expect. The project is set to iOS 9.0 target and Universal. And it's a basic, new project.
Here's what I tried:
Changing the target to iOS 8.0, then I see sim devices. But I want to run iOS 9.0
Xcode Menu > Preferences > Downloads > only see iOS 8.3, 8.2 downloadable... don't see mention of iOS 9.0
Xcode Menu > Open Developer Tools. See option for iOS Simulator and iOS Simulator (Watch). If I open iOS Simulator (not the watch), it opens up iOS Simulator 9.0 but running a watch
So looks like the iOS 9 simulator is installed but only for the watch. Odd.
Xcode Menu > Preferences > Locations > switched Command Line Tools to Xcode 7.0
OK found it... go to window > devices, hit "+" there and add an iOS 9.0 simulator. Weird... don't remember ever having to do this before (the simulators for all the iOS version / physical device types) just were there automatically.
if your project deployment target is set to above 9.0, then you won't be able to see the list of simulators. You need to change the Xcode project deployment target to 8.0.
Found Solution,
Go to ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator and delete "devices" folder, And restart Xcode, Now you can see all simulators.
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 recently downloaded the testScrollView and WalkCycle examples from https://github.com/C4Code, but the dropdown window in the topmost toolbar lacks the option to select iPad simulator as the target device. Do I have to have something enabled in order for this menu to display correctly, or is this an issue of incompatibility between C4/XCode versions?
I recently upgraded to iOS 6, so all the projects I build and put up online will be targeted for iOS 6.0 simulator.
Check the following link, the answer there will show you how to change your settings so that it builds for the iOS 5.1 simulator:
Xcode 4 - IOS - Simulator not available as build target
can you still build applications you made from SDK 4 to an updated iOS 5 device?
without having to update to the beta version of XCode (4.2)?
Or maybe, Will it be okay also if I will just have two versions of XCode?
Thanks
You need to update to Xcode 4.2 to get the latest version of the iOS SDK. I'm not sure if you can use the iOS 5 SDK with Xcode 4.1; maybe if you update your compiler to clang 3.0.
Of course, you can always run iOS 4 apps on iOS 5 devices.
