iOS Simulator with iOS11 (Xcode 9) device missing from desktop Safari's Develop menu

Question

I'm trying to debug simulated devices in Xcode's Simulator using desktop Safari's Web Inspector.

A simulated device (iPad Air 2) does not appear in Safari's Develop menu when its Simulator is running. (The Simulator menu item doesn't even appear at all.)

• iOS in simulated device has Settings > Safari > Develop > Web Inspector enabled
• OS and all apps are most current version (App Store confirms "No Updates Available")

Is there any way to actually get this to work?

Sorry if this is a bit late, but for the new version of xcode you need safari technology preview (https://developer.apple.com/safari/technology-preview/), and use that instead of regular safari to debug xcode simulator
