Xcode - Run Simulator with older iOS Version

Tags:

Hey I have done a lot of looking around and seen many answers for how to do this in older versions of Xcode, but they don't seem to aplly to Xcode 6. So how can I run an older version of iOS in the simulator with Xcode 6.

Thanks for the help

How do I get Xcode iOS 15 simulator?

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 Downloads pane of Xcode's Preferences, download the iOS 7 or 7.1 simulator.

After it is downloaded, go to the Devices window (Window -> Devices) and click the Plus button to make a new simulated device with the system version you want. For example you might decide to make an iPhone 4s that's running iOS 7.

Now you'll be able to choose that device/system as the destination when you build and run.
