Edit

For Xcode 8.3 or above you will be able to use Siri in Simulator. The steps are -

1) Enable Siri from the settings of Simulator.

2) From the Hardware select Siri

No you can't do that in Simulator

Check this

To run and debug your Intents extension on a device Select the build scheme for your Intents extension. When you add an Intents extension to your project, Xcode automatically creates a build scheme for running that extension. Configure the scheme to run on an attached device. You cannot debug your Intents extension in the simulator. Select Product > Run to launch your extension on the device. When prompted by Xcode, select Siri (or Maps) as the app to run. Xcode builds your app and extension, installs them on the device, and launches the app you selected.

Reference - here

It's important to select the right Audio Input Source. For checking that: Hardware -> Audio Input — Jonas Deichelmann, Jul 17 '19 at 16:40

In Xcode 9 you can test Siri tasks by UI Tests. They talk about it in the end of this WWDC session. Basically it looks kinda like this:

    let siri = XCUIDevice.shared.siriService
    siri.activate(voiceRecognitionText: "How many points are on my credit card?")
    let predicate = NSPredicate {(_, _) -> Bool in
        sleep(5)
        return true
    }

    let siriResponse = expectation(for: predicate, evaluatedWith: siri, handler: nil)
    self.wait(for: [siriResponse], timeout: 10)

Apple docs say:

You cannot debug your Intents extension in the simulator.

Update: This has changed in Xcode 8.3.

Starting from Xcode 8.3 you can invoke Siri using Hardware > Siri after enabling Siri in the Settings app on Simulator.
