I need to build my app on an XS device. I am using Xcode 9.2.

How can I add the XS modal in my Xcode externally?

In my simulator I have up to iPhone X.

My machine Version:

OS X version: 10.12.6 (16G29)
Xcode version: 9.2

  • Do you have xcode 10 Right now? If you have then you can copy simulators from Xcode 10's package content and paste it in to xcode 9.2's Package content – Khush Dec 11 '18 at 07:08
  • I have Xcode 9.2 only – sejn Dec 11 '18 at 07:29
  • If I tried to update Xcode It showing a message as "The current version requires OS X 10.13.6 or later, but you can download the last compatible version." If I update the Xcode I did not know which version will download here – sejn Dec 11 '18 at 07:32

Simple solution:

  1. Open Xcode.
  2. Select the "Window" menu.
  3. Select "Devices and Simulators".
  4. Select Simulators tab.
  5. Click on the "+" icon at the left bottom.
  6. Choose the desired device & preferred iOS.
  7. Click "Create".
  8. Enjoy :).

For those here with the same problem but for Xcode 10.x and need iOS 13 simulators (iPhone 11, for instance) do the following:

  1. Install and open Xcode 11
  2. Go to Xcode menu > Open Developer Tool > Simulator
  3. On the Simulator app, go to Hardware menu > Device > iOS 13 to select and run your desired device
  4. Now you can close Xcode 11, and open Xcode 10.x
  5. You should see your i.e iPhone 11 simulator available in the Device List as the image:

  • So in the application list, we must need to keep both Xcode? – sejn Oct 14 '19 at 03:40
  • Unfortunately yes. Or you could still migrate your project to be opened with latest Xcode version – Luiz Dias Oct 14 '19 at 16:33
  • I am using Xcode 10.1 (Simulator is also 10.1) but I have no iOS 13 in the list - I only have 11.4, 12.0, and -12.1. Is there a way to add iOS 13 so that I can get the iPhone 11 simulator? – Greg Jul 18 '20 at 16:49
  • @Greg You have to install Xcode 11 too, then follow the steps above. – Luiz Dias Jul 19 '20 at 00:06
  • @Luiz - I was afraid of that - I believe am maxxed out at macOS 10.13.6 and therefore Xcode 10.1. – Greg Jul 19 '20 at 15:16

In Xcode go to Window > Devices and Simulators Here click on the simulators and then click on '+' to add a desired device.

For Simulator iPhone Xs 13.3 is not available by default in simulators list, So we would have to create it.

Steps :-

•Xcode Menu -> •Open Developer Tool -> •Simulator ->• Hardware -> •Device -> •Manage Devices -> •Simulators -> •Left Column -> •Click on + to create your device -> •Add Simulator Name (possibly iPhone Xs 13.3)…Device type to be iPhone Xs and OS Version iOS 13.3 -> •Create

Your New Device will be available in the list of Devices.

Similarly we can create other devices too.

  • Hello priyalp, for better and faster answers you could format your question with markdow (see https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet) and add tags (maybe Xcode) – Adrien Renaud Apr 14 '20 at 17:56

iPhone XS simulator is available on XCode 10 and above.

We can’t able to create a iPhone XS simulator on below XCode 10 But we can add

iOS 12.0 simulators in XCode 9.3
