Running iPhone 5 Simulator on Snow Leopard

Question

I am running the iOS6 SDK on my mac running Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard using steps from this Stack Overflow post.

I'm now trying to get the iPhone 4" screen to work. I have been able to get iOS 6 to show up in the iOS simulator under the Hardware > Version menu. When I try to load an iOS 6 device, I get the error: "The simulated application quit" - "Click Relaunch to try again". It then gives me an option to switch to a different SDK. If I choose iOS6, it again crashes. If I choose iOS 5, it loads correctly.

I also don't have an iPhone 4" screen option under the Hardware > Device menu.

I have copied the iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator6.0.sdk folder from the Xcode Disk Image to my computer.

I'm not able to upgrade my computer past Snow Leopard.

So I need to be able to:

1. load iOS 6 in the iOS Simulator
2. load an iPhone 4" in the simulator

Problem is Xcode 4.5 on your mac.

The original post says how to run ios 5.1sdk on "Xcode 4.2 on Snow leopard".

Xcode 4.5 is not available on snowleopard.

Install Xcode 4.2 and follow the steps again.
