I trying to add device conditions in my Xcode 11 so that I can simulate a slower network connection. However, when opening Devices and Simulators window and making sure my device is selected, it says that 'No Conditions Available'

Devices and Simulators

How do I make them appear?

I finally managed to fix this. It appears that you need to have a 'Network Link Conditioner' installed on your Mac (in my case Catalina) for the the option to appear in Devices and Simulator window. To install it, go to Downloads for Apple Developers and download 'Additional Tools for Xcode 11'. Once downloaded, you can find it in the Hardware folder. Interestingly, when trying to install it, I received the following error:

“Network Link Conditioner” preferences is installed with macOS and can’t be replaced.

Despite me unable to find it in preferences. Luckily there is an easy fix described in this answer.

  • pane installed without any pain in the system's preferences - but the issue is still valid and I don't have any conditions inside Xcode... :/ – raistlin Dec 23 '19 at 10:23
  • Feels like the whole thing is a bit buggy to be honest... I also had another issue with the linter options disappearing after I thought I had fixed it... Anyway, after updating everything to the latest version (xcode & iphone) and a mac restart, everything was working again... – nonstopcoding Dec 23 '19 at 11:06

I had the same issue. Try to install the latest system software updates (Xcode Command Line Tools in my case). It worked for me.
