Using Xcode 6 on 10.9 without iOS 8.0 simulator

I also installed on the 10.10 partition and have access to iOS 8.0 simulators, but for some reason, when the same installation process on 10.9 there are no 8.0 simulators, I only have the option to use the "iOS Device.

My command line tools are the latest for Mavericks and are selected in the "location" section. If I change the deployment target, I can run the 7.1 simulator. The only potential violation is that I use iRamDisk to control the simulator and the derived data file. However, I disabled this, uninstalled and reinstalled Xcode to no avail. Can other Xcode installations be conflicting?

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank.

I had the same problem after recovering from Time Machine on the new MacBook Pro and found a solution from Abel Pascual on the developer forums:

  • Open Xcode 6 beta li>
  • Go to the Xcode menu> Open Developer Tool> iOS Simulator
  • Even if a dialog box appears with an error, you will still have access to the iOS Simulator menu
  • Choose Hardware> Device> Device Management
  • Add (if none) all the devices you want, or delete and recreate the failed devices.

(You can check the devices at ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices ).

As mentioned in the Xcode 6 release notes, you will not be able to use iOS Simulator if you rename Xcode.app after it launches. Currently, the workaround is to simply rename or reboot.

This problem should be solved mainly with Xcode 7. There are a few more cases with edges, but most users should no longer experience such problems.

There are various solutions to this problem:

  • Download simulators for Xcode Xcode → Preference → Downloads

    Here you can download the simulators available on the Components tab. Also download the Library tab available on the Documentation tab. This can be useful help.

  1. After downloading, if the iOS 8 sim does not appear, restart your Mac .

Steps 1 and 2 helped me solve the problem.

This is most likely not the one they are looking for here, but in my build settings the “Supported Platform” was installed on iphoneos instead of iOS ; when I switched it to iOS , he decided that it could work on simulators.

However, this also created 200 errors in my project, so I'm not sure if this is the solution.
