Xcode 9 doesn't have any simulator device

Question

I just downloaded xcode 9 beta, but there is no simulator within it. Try to add new simulator but the create button doesn't work. Please help

By "no simulator within it" I mean there is option to build with simulator.

See .

Also, the create button doesn't work

Answer 1

It is a simulator but you need to close Xcode 8 if you have it open and restart Xcode 9 beta.

Answer 2

Ensure your Deployment Target version in Build Settings is also set to the desired version (and that you have that version of the respective simulator installed). Suppose, if that were set to 10.3 and I didn’t have an iOS 10.3 simulator installed, I wouldn’t be able to see any simulators. But because it’s set to 10.1, and I have 10.1 simulators installed, I can see them.

Answer 3

Delete the derived data, close all your running Xcodes and restart your computer. It just helped me.

Answer 4

You can do the same that @badhan-ganesh suggests (cleaning derived data) using the Xcode keyboard shortcut to clean derived data:

shift+alt+cmd+k

If needed, you can clean the project using Xcode keyboard shortcut:

shift+cmd+k

After that, restart Xcode and simulators should be available again.

Answer 5

Go to Xcode Preferences -> Locations and go to the Derived Data location in Finder:

Just remove all contents from it, then right click on Xcode icon and quit it, and reopen it:

Answer 6

Apart from the simulators not showing, my project's storyboard was messed up also after upgrading to XCode 9. I simply restarted XCode and voila! Did not have to delete derived files - though it would probably not hurt.
