Question

I updated my Xcode to 6.0.1 from the App Store update notification in the morning in the os X 10.9.5, and then restarted my mac.

Then i found the Xcode has been updated to the 6.0.1 ,But when i tried to run my app on it i am getting only iOS device as the device,not simulators.

in my simulator menu manage devices there is no simulators only my mac is present ,then i tried to add simulators but it has given me error of path is not found,i tried every solutions found in the web search like locations tab command line tools,everything is fine,

But still i am not getting the simulators?Can anybody help me on this?

Answer 1

What is the output of 'xcrun simctl list'? Is there anything interesting in ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/CoreSimulator.log to indicate a problem? Are you able to add and delete simulator devices from the device manager? Can you add and delete devices from the command line 'xcrun simctl create ...'?

Answer 2

The one thing I can suggest is checking xcode-select from a Terminal. Type xcode-select -p and look at the output. This should be the Contents/Developer directory within your Xcode application. On my machine - because I don't leave Xcode in the Application folder, it reads /Applications/Developer/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/. Make sure it's actually pointing at where Xcode is installed. For example you may be putting Xcode in a directory other than the usual /Applications, while xcode-select is looking for the Xcode internals in a different place than where Xcode is. I've been caught out by this before now.

Answer 4

Choose Preview > iOS Simulator Version > iOS 6.0 or 6.1.* Choose Preview > Preview in iOS Simulator.
