Menu
As the question states, I would mainly like to know whether or not my code is running in the simulator, but would also be interested in knowing the specific iphone version that is running or being simulated.
EDIT: I added the word 'programmatically' to the question name. The point of my question is to be able to dynamically include / exclude code depending on which version / simulator is running, so I'd really be looking for something like a pre-processor directive that can provide me this info.

You'll need to go to Settings > Advanced and check the Show Debug Menu option. Then you'll see the option to open the web inspector for the Simulator right from that menu. With the Web Inspector open, you can debug inside the Simulator just like you could right in a desktop browser with DevTools.
Launch command is used to launch a application in your simulator device.
It is impossible to make a purchase on a simulator (it is only possible to request a list of available purchases). To test purchases, you first need to set up products on App Store Connect and then use the user's sandbox environment and a real device. In this case, purchases for the developer are free.
Open up a project in Xcode and click on the device near the Run ▶ button at the top left of your Xcode screen. Plug your iPhone into your computer. You can select your device from the top of the list. Unlock your device and (⌘R) run the application.
Already asked, but with a very different title.
What #defines are set up by Xcode when compiling for iPhone
I'll repeat my answer from there:
It's in the SDK docs under "Compiling source code conditionally"
The relevant definition is TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR, which is defined in /usr/include/TargetConditionals.h within the iOS framework. On earlier versions of the toolchain, you had to write:
#include "TargetConditionals.h" but this is no longer necessary on the current (Xcode 6/iOS8) toolchain.
So, for example, if you want to check that you are running on device, you should do
#if TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR // Simulator-specific code #else // Device-specific code #endif depending on which is appropriate for your use-case.
