I just updated to the new Mojave and trying to compile our application to my new iPhone XMax but Xcode tells me:
Could not locate device support files.
This iPhone XS Max is running iOS 12.1 (16B92), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.
After I checked the about sections of Xcode it shows that the version is: Version 10.0 (10A255).
If I'm checking the App Store it shows that the 10.1 is already out, but I cannot update. All buttons shows just the "open" not the "update". Cannot find any solution. How could it happens?
I didn't find any solution to fix this issue, so the only way was to move Xcode to the trash and then download the whole again...

Will I be capable of submitting an app with Xcode 7.3.1 while on the macOS 10.12 beta? According to this post, it is possible to run Xcode 7 alongside macOS 10.12.
Yes, you can! But if you're tying to do this, you will find two problems.
no .app file provided in bundle
Build with Xcode 7.3.1 then upload using Xcode 8 [Beta]. This will allow you to upload the archive.
When trying to submit to the store you will be faced with this error message:
New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, OS X, and tvOS SDK. Don't submit apps built with beta software including beta OS X builds.
This is because your archive contain the Sierra's mark! I just solved this problem yesterday.
When you archived your app, find your archive in the Organizer, and then:
"Show in finder";
"Show package contents";
In the "xx.xcarchive" file, find the "Products"-"Applications"-"xx.app"(xx is your app's name), "Show package contents" again;
Finally, you can see there has a file named"Info.plist", open it;
Edit the value with a key named "BuildMachineOSBuild", I just change it to "15F34"(it's "El Capitan 10.11.5" 's version);
After that, you can upload this archive use Xcode or Application Loader, whatever you want!
Decided to try it out myself. Both methods of exporting through Xcode and Application Launcher failed with an error stating there was no .app file provided in bundle. Best to stay away from the macOS 10.12 beta if you want to continue developing for iOS 9.
Is someone else having problems to update xcode 7.2 to 7.3?
Firstly there is no update option in App Store. I found a link at App Store xcode 7.3, this link will open your app store on the xcode page, after I press update, a loading spinner appears but after 2 hours of waiting nothing has happened Is there another way to update xcode?
Edit: There is no option update xcode in App Store
xcode 7.3 is not supported in OS lower than 10.11, You need to upgrade your OS to OS X 10.11 or later (El Capitan) and try to upgrade the xcode to 7.3
You can download Xcode yourself from https://developer.apple.com/downloads (an Apple Developer account required).
This is what you should see (I filtered the available downloads by typing "Xcode"):
I had the same problem while I was trying to update to Xcode 8.1 with Waiting.. status on AppStore under Xcode icon. What I has done to fix this is:
1) Go to https://developer.apple.com/download/
2) Press Lunch Application
And when it opens on AppStore, it will refresh the status from Waiting.. to Downloading...
Can't see any iOS 9.0 simulators. In previous Xcode 7 beta 3 all was OK.
Can't install iOS 8.3 simulator.
Also I can't add any simulator from 'Organizer'. By pressing "Create" nothing happened.
Each time when I'm trying to download iOS simulator I see next thing:
One possible issue is that there may be old leftover simulators installed, which are not compatible with the new XCode, and their presence causes the whole Simulator to fail. To get rid of them, delete the simulators in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes (for me there was an iOS 7 simulator there which was the issue). Relaunch XCode after this.
Then try to run the simulator from XCode->Open Developer Tool->Simulator. Assuming this succeeds, verify that you have the simulators under the iOS Simulator menu Hardware->Device->Manage Devices… – if not, you should be able to click the + in the bottom bar to add yourself some iOS 9 simulators. Relaunch XCode again and they should show up in the menu.
In my case was with Xcode 8.2, what it worked to me was changing Deployment Version:
After setting another different than 10.0 then appeared back all simulators again.
Have you tried going to Xcode > preferences > downloads and trying to re-download the simulators you want?
For me it was only showing one simulator,
and when I go to Xcode > Preferences I can see the simulator is already downloaded but it is not showing up in the list,
if you're facing something similar. This is how you should add required simulator,
From the Xcode menu, open Windows > Devices, shown in the image below
you should see this screen,
notice there is only one simulator (ref: first image)
Now to add required simulator, you should click on the + (in the left corner)
You should see this,
You can choose the simulator from the list, In my case it is iPhone 6s Plus.
In Xcode you can see additional simulator iPhone 6s Plus,
I was also not able to see simulators.Reason is,I have not restarted system after upgrading Xcode.I restarted & simulator started displaying as routine.
There is a bug in the latest El Capitan beta which causes a process to crash when dlopen() fails to mmap() a dynamic library. Such mmap() failures can occur due to code signature verification failures.
These mmap() failures will occur if older iOS Simulator runtimes are present on disk (ie: installed from Xcode 6.x), and that is the reason why Xcode 7 beta release notes have indicated that earlier runtimes are not working in Xcode 7. The iOS 8.x Simulator runtimes were updated in newer downloads, but if the older versions are present on disk, they will cause the mmap() failure, which in the latest El Capitan beta, unfortunately results in the CoreSimulatorService repeatedly crashing which in turn results in no simulators being available.
If simulators are suddenly disappeared:
Just consider decreasing Deployment target to a minor version below current version in Project > Build Settings > Deployment Info > Deployment Target
P.S. Usually you see a place holder text showing the selected version (in gray) in the box denoted above. If for example the gray text says 9.3, then decrease it to 9.2.
Look at seancook's response in the middle of this page... it seems to have fixed this issue for several people.

Edit:
This can also be fixed by booting into recovery mode (CMD - R) and reinstalling El Capitan.
Go to Windows. Select Devices. Select '+' from left bottom and add all simulators one by one.
I had changed the name of my Project from Finder. I clicked on the old project name (between the Play Button and and the selector for the desired Simulator or Device), selected edit schemes, selected the Targets Tab, and realised that the old scheme was missing so I just added my new Project name by clicking on the plus button and the simulator list reappeared.
I have been having this Xcode problem for a couple of months where my iOS simulator stops working whenever i run any application on Xcode and says, "The simulated application quit." and "iOS Simulator could not find the SDK. The SDK may need to be reinstalled." I am running Xcode 4.3.3 and have iOS sdk 5.1 and everything updated but it happened on my previous version of Xcode also. I have tried reinstalling Xcode over 10 times now and have been posting this question for a while now. No one has been able to get a solution. I have even sent in a bug report to apple but i don't think they will respond. I have tried doing everything every other person that has this problem has been told to do in other threads. I'm honestly thinking about just buying a new mac and seeing if Xcode will work on that one or taking in my current one to get looked at by apple. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads and make sure the "Target SDK" you have selected in your project is in fact installed under the Downloads windows. For me this magically was uninstalled. Once i installed the SDK that my app was using, all worked again
This worked for me: http://www.colinbowern.com/posts/the-simulated-application-quit
I just deleted the folder "6.1" under ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator
The I just launched again the app and the simulator recreated correctly the 6.1 folder.
Resetting the simulator settings (iOS Simulator > Reset Contents and Settings) resolved this issue for me.
I had the same issue. For me suddenly all the installed simulators (4.3 through to 6.0) stopped working. I then went to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads, and there I had the chance to update at least the 5.0 simulator. This is now working, yet I was not able to get the 4.3 or 5.1 or 6.0 to work.
I have personally experienced a weird thing with xcode regarding this issue. Sometimes the sdk is installed properly but it still gives this error. I have two classes, if I call first class from the app delegate then the ipad simulator works fine but when I call the second class then it gives the error that the sdk needs to be re-installed.
In my case when the error occured, I had two errors in the second class. When I corrected the errors after debugging, the ipad simulator started to work completely fine. This is quite weird but its not the problem with your sdk, the problem is somewhere in the code.
This just happened to me. I tried to launch with iPhone 5.1 Simulator, got the error "iOS Simulator could not find the SDK. The SDK may need to be reinstalled." I tried running iPad 5.1 Sim, which worked. I switched to non-retina iPad. Then I tried running iPhone 5.1 Simulator again, and it worked.
I installed iOS 4.2 on my 2nd-generation iPod Touch last week. I tried running my application on the device through Xcode, but it didn't work (because Xcode didn't yet support iOS 4). To solve that, I installed Xcode 3.2.5 and the iOS SDK 4.2. Now I can get the app to run in the iPhone/iPad Simulator just fine.
However, I can no longer select "Device" from the menu at the top of the screen. It's a choice, but when I try to click on it, it never actually gets a check mark.
Because of this, I can no longer run the app on my iPod. The other (related) problem is that I can't choose "Build and Archive" from the Build menu anymore because the target is not a device.
Why is this happening? Do I need to change some settings in my project, or something with my device itself?
EDIT: Upon closer investigation, it appears that I can't select anything but the iPhone Simulator 4.0. Maybe there's something wrong with the project file.
Check that the base SDK is set to Latest iOS (currently set to iOS 4.2) for your Xcode project and your target's product, then perform a rebuild and see if your iPod is recognized.
Also try visiting the Xcode Organizer and see if it's asking for anything from your iPod. Typically Xcode will want to collect some data from devices whose OS receive updates, so it can update itself and install your apps on the updated OS properly.
