Xcode 6.2: no iOS simulators available?

I am running a Mac 10.10.3. I am working on a iOS project.

I got an error when using Xcode 6.3 that didn't appear in Xcode 6.2. The video I was listening to was also using Xcode 6.2.

When I got it, there were no simulators. I went to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads. There were two downloads: an iOS 8.1 and 7.1 simulator. But I can't run my program. There are no actual virtual devices or anything.

In Xcode 6.3, there were a bunch of devices. iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s, etc. Nothing's there except iOS device in Xcode 6.2. How do I make them appear?

To be clear: I want the devices to run my program.

If in Xcode 6.3 (SIX.THREE, please update the title of your question) you have no Simulator available you just need to:

  1. Open Xcode > Preferences > Downloads
  2. Click the Download button next to an iOS Simulator
  3. Wait for the download to complete
  4. Now you can select the Simulator as you did in the previous version

Xcode > Preferences > Downloads

Hope this helps.

That's correct. Xcode did not add support for iOS development until Xcode 3.1.

Unless you are supporting VERY old iOS hardware and OS versions, there is no good reason to deal with such old versions of Xcode, and many good reasons not to. Xcode 3.1, the first version of Xcode to support iOS development, is from 2008.
