Xcode 9 doesn't have any simulator device

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 enter image description here.

Also, the create button doesn't work enter image description here

If you upgraded Xcode then follow the steps

  1. Delete derived data, Xcode-> Preferences -> Locations and select arrow symbol just before Advance button -> select all files and delete.
  2. Quit Xcode
  3. Quit Xcode from Dock
  4. Open Xcode again.

:-) Hope this will help you.

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

Xcode preference

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

Move to trash

You may have removed iOS Simulators when you cleaned up disk space. I think I may have used DaisyDisk to remove files when I ran out of space.

You can re-add simulators using the Devices & Simulators window. (Shift + Command + 2)

This may happen due to multiple Xcode installed on machine or might be the deployment target is higher than the simulator OS version.

In order to resolve this navigate to following location : Xcode > Preference > location > comindline Tool > change the xcode version

and decrease the deployment target.

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.

Having a higher deployment target than what is installed on your simualtors also causes this.

I have Xcode 8.3 and Xcode 9.1, I came to this post to find a solution to missing simulators after forced upgrade to 9.1...

I was about to do the suggestion to remove the entire DerivedData directory, lucky closing Xcode 9.1 and restarting it worked. Moreover, I had to close all simulator(s).

I had to rebuild app apps on simulator again.

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.

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.

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

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