Why there is no simulators in my Target?

Question

I searched the stackoverflow, and find litte, ask me to install the simulators from Xcode.I think this is not the solution.

Because my other project has the list of simulators.

Compire:

There is no simulators in the Target:

There have whole list of simulators in my other project:

So, I don't think this is Xcode's cause, where is the issue make my first project no simulators?

Answer 1

Make sure your Application deployment target is lower than the iOS Simulator version.

For deployment target check:

TARGETS -> General -> Deployment Info -> Deployment Target

For example, if your iOS Simulator version is 10.0 make sure that deployment target is lower than 10.0.

Answer 2

With the Imad Ali's mention, I found the TARGETS -> General -> Deployment Info -> Deployment Target is 10.2 defaultly.

So I change it to 8.0, then the list of simulators comes out.

Answer 3

This might be due to two reasons:

First Reason:

Your Deployment Target is set to above your Xcode base SDK iOS version.

For Example: You have got this project from somewhere and it is created on above Xcode version (like: Xcode 8.2 ) and its Deployment Target set to iOS 10.2 and you might have Xcode 8.0, So when you open that project so it creates the same issues which you have mentioned.

Resolved it using:

Project Target -> General -> Deployment Info -> Deployment Target set it to equal or below to your Xcode version like iOS 10.0 or iOS 9.0 if you have Xcode 8.0

Second Reason:

It might be the Xcode Bug:

• Force Quit and open again Xcode it will show all the devices.
