How to install iOS 7 and onwards simulators in Xcode 7 Beta 5?

I want to test my app on iOS 7 and onwards. The only way to test my app in these OS' are using Simulator. But after upgrading my Xcode to 7 Beta, I see the iOS 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 but I get an error that they are not found. iOS7 is non existing. Is there any way to install the older OS simulators in Xcode 7 beta 5?

Older Simulator runtimes are available for download through Xcode's preferences.

Goto Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads to see the list of compatible legacy simulator runtimes.

El Capitan supports iOS 8.1 and newer runtimes.

Yosemite supports iOS 7.1 and newer runtimes.

There is a known issue mentioned in the Xcode release notes which prevents the iOS 7.1 simulator runtime from working in Xcode 7.

Thus, you can't currently use the iOS 7.1 simulator runtime with Xcode 7.
