On new XCode5-GM Apple stopped to support older simulators (they are not included in the XCode5 bundle). I would need at least a 5.0 simulator in order to test my apps because I would like to still support iOS5: I have no reasons for not doing it and iPad1 runs on it.
Is there any way to install and run iOS5 Simulator on XCode5 ?
The iOS 5 simulator is still available, it's just not in the initial download (presumably for size reasons). You can install it as follows:
In XCode 5, open the following menu:
XCode -> Preferences -> Downloads
...and you'll be able to download iOS 5, 5.1, 6, and 6.1 simulators.

<< OS Simulator 5.0/5.1 is available only on Mountain Lion.
If you're running on Mavericks, you'll only see iOS 6.0/6.1/7.0 >>
