Component simulator list empty Xcode 9.1 beta

Question

The list of the simulator to download and install is empty. I deleted Derived cached data but still empty. Is it normal ? is there a workaround to install manually simulators ?

I have the same problem on Xcode 9 (non-beta) and was able to work around this issue by installing simulators manually via command line.

I.e. for iOS 10.3.1:

gem install xcode-install

xcversion simulators --install='iOS 10.3.1'
