When I open up the new Xcode 9 and go to Preferences > Components
I don't see an option to download iOS 11 simulators. I'm 100% sure I have the latest Xcode 9 beta 4
I did some research and found out that Xcode downloads an index to determine what it is able to download. For me that was: https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/downloads/xcode/simulators/index-9.0.0-CA351AD8-3176-41CB-875C-42A05C7CDEC7.dvtdownloadableindex
Basically one is able to use it for any Xcode version by determining the DTXcoce:
defaults read /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Info DTXcode
.
A result like 0900
must be converted to 9.0.0
And the DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID:
defaults read /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID
Then download: https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/downloads/xcode/simulators/index-<the DTXcode>-<the UUID>.dvtdownloadableindex
.
And lastly in order to be able to open it: plutil -convert xml1 <the downloaded .dvtdownloadableindex file>
Can someone verify I have the right dvtdownloadableindex? Or provide a url to the right version? Otherwise I hope someone can provide the url for the complete simulator package by downloading and cancelling the simulator while looking in to console.app
