I had Xcode 6.1.1 installed together with the iOS8 simulators but I need to be able to test websites with iOS7 also so I installed Xcode 5.1.1 also and named it to this. (I also renamed Xcode 6.1.1 to that instead of just Xcode).

After that I got all iOS7 simulators in Xcode 5.1.1 working. But now all simulators from Xcode 6.1.1 are gone! When I try to add them back it just loads for a while and then nothing happens. What should I do?

I need iOS7 and iOS8 simulators to test with, preferably on the same computer and without any virtual machine (don't have disk space).

How it looks when I start iOs8 simulator This just loads and nothing happens

I have Mavericks on a Mac Book Pro Retina. Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)

You don't need both versions of Xcode in order to test with iOS7 and 8 simulators. With the latest version you will be able to test in both simulators. You just need to go to Preferences → Downloads and download the iOS 7.1 Simulator. Then you can define simulators with that version on your devices window.

  • Once downloaded, go to Window → Devices and tab the + in the bottom left of the screen. Then select name, device type, iOS version and accept. Xcode will create the simulator for you.

    Delete both Xcode versions installed, reinstall (don't forget this) and then install the latest available Xcode (6.1.1). Should work.
