Unable to test iOS 10 (iphone 5) Simulator using XCode 9

Question

I've made my Deployment Target iOS 10.0, using Swift 4.

I've installed the Simulator for iOS 10, even iOS 9.3.

I can see it in the list Window > "Devices and Simulators"

And yet the simulator for iOS 10 (iphone 5) does not show in my dropdown option list for run-able simulators.

I'm guessing I'm overseeing something obvious? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

The filtering that is done is based on deployment target. Check the build settings of all targets in your project to see if you are overriding the project-level deployment target with a target-level deployment target.

Answer 2

If you can't add another simulator (like iPhone 5) by clicking "+" icon in the bottom left corner of "Add simulators..." window, you should install iOS 10.0 (1.9GB) so that the old device can be run.
