The app I am working on support iOS 9 so I need to test it on simulator, but as I updated mac os and installed new xCode it looks like its impossible.
Maybe some one can give an advice how to enable these old iOS simulators in XCode.
Thanks in advance!

I noticed that there are no preview or simulator for iOS6 in Xcode 6-beta, so I was wondering is there any way that I could add it manually ?
No.
Apple only support iOS7 and iOS8, and they're strict with that. As a result, only iOS7/8 simulators are available in Xcode 6.
If you want to run on an older simulator, you need to develop on an older version of XCode.
Not possible. But: you can still test on a iOS 6 device from Xcode 6. I keep an old iPhone 4 for this (look at eBay).
EDIT: there is another way - install Xcode 5 on a virtual machine (e.g. VMWare Fusion) running Mavericks.
iOS6 simulator is available in Xcode5
No, the earliest SDK you can get for Xcode 6 is 7.1. By default, the iOS 7 simulator is not installed but you can install it by going to preferences, then to downloads and installing it from there.
To run iOS 6 applications, try googling around for an earlier Xcode version (late versions of 4) and these should have the simulator!
Hope that helps!
Xcode 4.4.1 crashes in OS 10.9 when I switch to xib. file in my project.
Log shows that problem is connected to iOS 5.1 simulator.
Is it possible to add support of iOS 5.1 simulator in OS X 10.9?
If it is possible how can I solve this problem?
install later Xcode and copy SDK from older Xcode? (will it work?)
do something only with Xcode 4.4.1? (any way I need to install Xcode 5, but I need Xcode 4.4.1 too)
In Xcode you can specify which version of iOS the simulator shall use.
Preferences > Downloads
As far as I know in it is only possible to go back to iOS6.0 and iOS6.1 when using Xcode5.
This is related to Xcode and not OSX.
It will not work because in Xcode 5 under OS X v10.9 the iOS 5 simulator is not available. (I've tried it)
I have a customer who has reported an issue that my app instantly crashes after starting on iOS 5.0.1 on an iPad 1, and I wanted to test it.
How is it possible to run an app with Xcode 5.0 on an iOS 5.0.1 Simulator, as it is not shown in the list of available downloads.
See this answer, it might help. (Please note that I haven't tried it.)
If it really is impossible on Mavericks, maybe you could consider installing an older OS X version in a VM?
I have upgrade to xcode4.5 from 4.4, but i can't find ios simulator 4 or prior within it. I open Xcode menu, preference, downloads, i can see simulator5 and 5.1 only. I am not sure whether xcode4.5 support ios simulator 4 and debugging with ios4.3 and prior.i know almost iphone and ipad people upgrade their ios to 5 already. but we have some project runs in ios 4.3.does someone know how to install simulator 4 in xcode 4.5?
thanks in advance.
Looks like it has been removed from xcode 4.5 on Mountain Lion:
xcode 4.5 runs ios 4.0 simulator (NOT)
According to Apple you can still set the deployment target for 4.3 though:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3461
The minimum supported deployment target with Xcode 4.5 or later is iOS 4.3.
my Mac has Snow Leopard and Xcode about shows 4.2 (4c199)
An update came to my iphone4 and it has now ios5.1 (used to be ios5.01)
When I try to run on the ios device target the build goes through fine but the installation fails with "no provisional ios devices are available with a compatible ios version".
When I look in Xcode organizer I can see similarly:
The version of iOS on “XXXXXX’s iPhone” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK; which is available here.
and here is what the organizer shows:
OS Installed on XXXXX’s iPhone
5.1 (9B176)
Xcode Supported iOS Versions
Latest
5.0 (9A334)
4.3
4.2 (8C134)
4.2
What is the meaning of "Latest" here?
I hope I do not need to install Xcode 4.3 as it will require moving to Mountain Lion in the middle of the project?
Prior to this update the things used to work, I think (lately I was working only in the simulator, but before that everything work on the iphone ok).
Thanks for any help in advance.

Your mistake was updating your iphone to IOS 5.1, because your current version of xcode doesn't support it. So basically, you either have to downgrade your IOS device to 5.0 or you have to upgrade to Lion(not mountain lion) and then install the latest version of xcode which does supports IOS 5.1.
Downgrading can be a bitch btw, so I think lion is your best bet. Ill have to do the same soon. Hope this made things a little more clear! Best of luck man!
