Preferences -> Downloads only shows ios 7.1 Simulator and ios 7.0 simulator.

My Deployment Target is 5.0.

Why can I no longer get at least the ios 6 simulator?

Running Xcode 6.0 (6A313)

Mac 10.9.4

And why does is only show "iPhone 5" as an option for the simulator? The 4S can run iOS 7...

To get the iOS 6 simulator you need to download an older version of Xcode. Log into developer.apple.com and you will see this link:

enter image description here

That will take you to: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode

You will then download Xcode 5 and have access to the old iOS 6 simulator. You can have both Xcode 5 and Xcode 6 installed on your machine at the same time.

  • So basically if I want to support iOS 6 I have to switch back and forth between two versions of Xcode for testing? – soleil Sep 26 '14 at 18:57
  • Correct. There's no workaround for testing on a simulator other than to install an older version of Xcode and then test from there by switching back and forth. You can have them both installed and running at the same time. – Austen Chongpison Sep 26 '14 at 20:07

To add the iPhone 4S as a simulator: In xCode go to Windows -> Devices and press the plus in the bottom corner and add the devices that you wish.
