I'm currently running Snow Leopard and I have Xcode 3.2.6 installed. I'd like to be able to run an iOS Simulator, preferably the 5.x series but I'd settle for anything really. How do I do that? I found this question: Is it possible to get the iOS 5.1 SDK for Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard? but that requires Xcode 4.2, which I can't seem to find for Snow Leopard.

I don't really even plan to do any app development on Xcode - this is mostly for testing browser stuff - so if there's a way to run the simulator without Xcode that would be good too. I have a physical iPad as well in case that helps.

  • Where did you download xCode? this link has the whole bundle including the simulator (not 5): https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode%203.2.6 – Robot Woods Jan 31 '13 at 19:14
  • I am running Xcode 4.2 on Leopard, but this worked only with some manual work. – AlexWien Jan 31 '13 at 19:23
  • @RobotWoods trying that now. Will report back. – Dan Jan 31 '13 at 19:29
  • @RobotWoods that did in fact work. Make it an answer and I'll accept. I still don't understand why I can't get Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard since it was clearly available at one time, but that's a separate question. – Dan Feb 05 '13 at 23:01

You have to update your OS to install latest simulators. It will not work in snow leopard.

Update to OS/X Mountain Lion, then you'll be able to install XCode 4.X and run iOS 5 and 6 simulators
