iOS 9.3 simulator in Xcode 10

Question

I need to test my app on iPhone 4S. In Xcode 10, I've went to Xcode > Preferences > Components > Simulators and I've downloaded "iOS 9.3 Simulator"

But I don't see it on the simulator list next to the Run button.

Any idea, how to run this iOS 9.3 simulator in Xcode 10?

Answer 1

You have to create a simulator using the simulator os version. You have only downloaded the iOS version software.

To add a device follow: Window > Devices & Simulators. (or cmd + shift + 2)

Then at the bottom of the list press the + icon. This should allow you to add a device running the selected iOS version.

Answer 2

iOS 9.3 (9.3 - 13E233) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-3（不可用，macOS 10.14.99 之后的主机不支持 iOS 9.3 模拟器运行时。）（不可用，iOS 9.3 模拟器运行时是macOS 10.14.99 之后的主机不支持。）

Answer 3

Keep the Deployment Targets at 9.x, then navigate to:

Xcode > Preferences > Components

There you will see a list of additional simulators to install. These can sometimes take an really long time to download, and I've found this article to be very helpful in speeding up the process.
