I'm looking for the specific location in the filesystem where the iOS simulators are stored that Xcode downloads for you. I've been looking in the usual locations like /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs or ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator but no luck.
Does anyone know the specific location that they're downloaded into?

# Open application folder in Finder First, copy the path to the app folder from Xcode console. Then open Finder, click on Go -> Go to Folder and paste the application directory path. You will now be able to browse all the files in your application folder.
Where are simulator files saved? You also may just go to the ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/ folder in Finder ( Shift+Cmd+G ), and then click on the Date modified tab on the top of the folder menu. You'll get the most recently used simulator folder without UDID.
Open the iPhone Simulator application. You can find the alias in Contents → Applications, as shown below. For easy access to the iOS simulator in the future, drag and drop the iOS Simulator alias on to your Desktop or the Applications folder. The iOS simulator is now installed and running on your Mac, as shown below.
They are installed to /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes (Not ~/Library!)
