Why does Xcode, after updating to SDK 4.2, always run my application in iPad Simulator instead of iPhone??? If I select iPhone Simulator as active executable it doesn't store my preference and runs the iPad simulator after any new Build & Run.
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.
Open Xcode and click Menu > Xcode > Preferences > Select Components, and then choose the simulator version you want to download.
To launch a Simulator without running an appChoose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator. Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
Sometimes the iOS simulator doesn't respond to the open command. If it seems stuck on this prompt, you can open the iOS simulator manually ( open -a Simulator ) and then in the macOS toolbar, choose Hardware → Device, and select an iOS version and device that you'd like to open.
I had the same Problem. But suddenly after an Update it disappeared. Do you have the newest Version of all Software( or tried turning it off and on again)?
If that doesn't works, I would suggest a reinstall. Solved many of my Problems...
On XCode 3.2.6, you can go to "Project" menu -> "Set Active Executable" and select iPhone Simulator.
