Unable to download HomeKit accessory simulator for Xcode 7.3

Question

I'm trying to download HomeKit Accessory Simulator but unable to download it.

From Xcode I'm trying it to download from two sides:

1) From the Capabilities section:

2) From the Xcode's Open developer Tools:

By clicking on them I landed on the page:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=for%20Xcode

Which gives me some random response in some Json format :

     {"responseId":"d730b398-8ae9-43da-8d08-1335372fd1ca","resultCode":1003,"resultString":"request.uri.notfound","userString":"Invalid request, Service mapping to the requested URL is not available. ","creationTimestamp":"2016-07-22T11:53:06Z","userLocale":"en_US","requestUrl":"https://developer.apple.com:443/downloads/index.action?name=for%20Xcode","httpCode":200,"suppressed":[]}

Any help and suggestion will be appreciated. thanks

Answer 1

May be Apple link is broken.

Go to below link:

https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

and Download: Hardware IO Tools for Xcode

This package includes additional hardware i/o tools formerly bundled in the Xcode installer. These tools include: Apple Bluetooth Guidelines Validation, Bluetooth Explorer, HomeKit Accessory Simulator, IO Registry Explorer, Network Link Conditioner.prefpane, PacketLogger and Printer Simulator. These graphics tools support running on OS X 10.10 and OS X 10.9.

open the .dmg and you will see it as app inside it:

then move it to /Applications and you are good to go.
