  • until now I've only found that an old iPhone 4 running iOS 7 is the only option. – rckoenes Sep 24 '15 at 11:21

  • @EricD. Difference is this is about the Live version not a beta version and its still not there. – Arbitur Sep 24 '15 at 11:59
  • What does "live version" mean? If you're talking about the released version, yes Xcode 7 is available in the App Store, it's no more in beta. And having read the page I linked to, it seems like an accurate answer for you. Have you tried? If it doesn't work then edit your question explaining why the duplicate doesn't apply here and in this case I will remove the vote to close. – Eric Aya Sep 24 '15 at 12:01
  • @EricD. I agree that it's not a duplicate. Even Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia's answer there emphasizes that it applies only to the _current_ version of the beta. Only now do we know that that it applies to _final_ version of Xcode 7. – matt Sep 24 '15 at 17:35
  • @matt Ok, I understand your point. I've removed the vote to close as duplicate. – Eric Aya Sep 24 '15 at 17:38

The Xcode 7 Release Notes call out that the iOS 7 Simulator is not supported.

How can I run my app on iOS7 simulator?

To make a long story short, you can't. You can't use the iOS 7 simulator with Xcode 7. You can use the iOS 7 simulator with Xcode 6, but you can't build your app there. This is in keeping with Apple's stated policy of helping you be backward compatible only one major version backward.

The only solution, therefore is either to give up your goal of backward compatibility to iOS 7 or to test on an iOS 7 device.
