Why can't I see the iOS 7.0 simulator in Xcode on Yosemite?

I need to do some testing on an iOS 7.0.3 Simulator, but when I go to Preferences > Downloads in Xcode (6.0.1) there is no iOS 7.0 Simulator under the Components section.

Could it be because I am running Yosemite? I've heard of Mavericks machines losing support for iOS 6.0, but couldn't find any definitive answer on whether Yosemite has removed support for 7.0 simulators.

It's because you're on Yosemite. It doesn't support 7.0 anymore. Had the same issue.

XCode 6.1 in Yosemite starts with 7.1, if you need to test older iOS versions you can still install XCode 5.X from Apple's developer downloads site using your developer account. You can have both versions installed in the same machine.
