ios 7.1 simulator doesn't download in xcode 6.1.1

Question

I have Xcode 6.1.1 and I want to run my app in deployment target : iOS 7.0 , so I tried to download the iOS 7.1 Simulator, but the progress bar is still white (no progress)

How do I fix this problem? and is there an another way to download this simulator? When I put deployment target : ios 7.0 the default simulator doesn't run , it is run only in deployment target : ios 8.0. Note : I am using Swift if it has any affect and my Mac OS version is : OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

Answer 1

Are you using a laptop? I was having this issue while trying to download anything from Xcode. The actual culprit turned out to be my laptop not being plugged in. Apple products seem to halt all downloads on battery power. For some reason Xcode doesn't show any message whereas the App Store immediately complains. I plugged in my laptop and it immediately started downloading.
