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.
The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators.
Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
Use XCode simulator to emulate an iOS device. In this tutorial, we will look at how you can use the XCode simulator to debug a web page. XCode is a free IDE available for Mac devices used for developing all kind of apps for Apple devices: iOS apps, Mac apps, Watch apps and more.
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.
