I was using Xcode 6.0.1 till now and things were fine. Then I upgraded to Xcode 6.1 and tried running my application(which has a deployment target of 7.0) in iPhone 6 simulator. But it shows an error message :
The iOS 8.1 simulator runtime is not available. Download the iOS 8.1 simulator runtime from the Downloads section in Xcode's Preferences
I manually deleted the earlier Xcode (6.0.1) and installed 6.1 from a dmg. I tried searching across but couldn't find related stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
Open Xcode and click Menu > Xcode > Preferences > Select Components, and then choose the simulator version you want to download. When a simulator is opened from AppStudio, AppStudio Player automatically installs (if necessary) and opens in it.
Launching the Simulator, though, always requires opening Xcode and going to Developer Tools. Because the Simulator. app is embedded within the Xcode app bundle, apps like LaunchBar won't find it to index it. LaunchBar, which is my launcher of choice, also ignores aliases, so dragging Simulator.
The simctl command-line tool provides you the interface you need to use and configure Simulator in a programmatic way. If you have Xcode installed, simctl is accessible through the xcrun command (which routes binary executables to the active copy of Xcode on your system).
To delete individual, available, simulators it's easier to do so through Xcode. Go to Window > Devices and simulators, then select the Simulators tab. You can right-click on any simulator and select 'delete' to get rid of it.
It is a Mac problem, not an Xcode problem.
Logout the user, shutdown, restart or just reboot Mac. Your Xcode simulator will go back to normal.
