I recently installed Xcode 9.0 GM on my machine. I fired it up to play around and the only simulators I see in the scheme are iPhone 8, iPHone 8 Plus, and iPhone X. I clicked "Download Additional Simulators" thinking the solution would lie there.
I'm greeted with this screen, which is everything I previously had installed.
I dug around on the Apple Developer forum and found this post discussing a similar problem with a prior version of iOS. At the suggestion of one of the posters, I powered down my machine and booted it cold. I opened up Xcode 9.0 again and I have the same issue.
Any suggestions what I can get additional hardware to appear in my Xcode scheme? Thank you for reading.

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.
In the Safari on your Mac, on the Safari menu bar, choose the "Develop" menu. Scroll to the iOS Simulator option.

In Xcode 10.3, I also lost all simulators but got them back by running
sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService

In case anyone else gets here and are in my situation, I just upgraded to Xcode 9.2 and the simulators were all missing, but quitting and relaunching Xcode restored them.
