It's available only under Xcode 3.x. The hands-like tab between Windows and Help.
What is this tab used for?
Xcode 3.2.6
After trying by myself. It is actually User Scripts as the image shows.
And it's gone since Xcode 4 onwards.

Edit: Probable Bug. Seeking fix or workaround…
How can I get the system’s text styles to be available in the interface builder when using Xcode 11?
I just started using Xcode 11 this week. In the interface builder (storyboard mode), when I go to assign a dynamic type text style to a Label or Button, using the Font -> Style pop-up, all the text styles are missing from the popup menu.
I do have the Dynamic Type “Automatically Adjusts Font” checkbox checked, as well.
I’m not sure if this is a bug, an intentional change I can’t find documentation for, or something else.
The expected behaviour is described in Apple’s developer documentation “Scaling Fonts Automatically”. Specifically, in the “Configuring Text Styles Using Interface Builder” section.
Further exploration: I’ve tried it with new projects, old projects (from Xcode 10), projects targeting iOS 12.2 and 13.1. All had the same problem of no text styles in the popup menu.
I experience the same problem when upgrading from Xcode 11.0 to Xcode 11.1 or 11.2 beta 2:
Xcode 11.0:
Xcode 11.1:
I also filed a bug report (FB7415999) with Apple and also opened an issue with them.
**My curren solution at the moment is a downgrade to Xcode 11.0 for UI development and a parallel install of Xcode 11.2 beta for on device runs **
This is probably a bug in Xcode 11.1. I ran into the same thing and filed a bug with Apple (FB7368959). A colleague running Xcode 11.1 on Catalina did not have the same problem, nor did another running Xcode 11.1 on Mojave.
Here is a workaround that got me back on track: I opened the problematic project in both Xcode 10.3 and 11.2 beta. In both, the dynamic type styles were available in IB. I didn't change anything, but reverted to Xcode 11.1, and now the styles are there, too. Hopefully this works for Grant and anyone else that runs into this annoyance.
Edit Mar. 17, 2020: This problem has reoccurred for me on Xcode 11.3.1. It seemed to happen with a specific project, and the problem spread to a second machine as soon as I opened that project. My workaround didn't help when I opened the project in 11.4 beta 3.
I have a xcode 6.x project in which i made small changes. Now i want to submit it to app store.
But none of the simulators are showing up.
i was using xcode 6.4 but then i download xcode 6.2 and it still doesn't work. How do archive it and submit it to appstore?
I cannot use latest xcode because the project is in swift so will have to make alot of changes, it's a big project.
This issue can happen if the width of the Xcode window is too narrow. Try resizing the window wider, and they should re-appear.
Today in the morning I tried to compile my project to run in my device and I found the destination toolbar disappeared and I cannot choose my IOS device or IOS Simulator device as target. (I can do it in the Product/Destination Menu)
After some research I found the >> at the right on the screen and when I pushed a Scheme option appeared but it is disabled and I can't enable again.
This is what I tried with no success:
Open an old project to see if the problem was in my project
Create a new project (with Swift and Objective C but I don't think this make any difference)
Restart my computer
Hide and show the toolbar (View menu/Hide Toolbar and the View menu/Show Toolbar)
I tried all the previous options with the device connected and disconnected
I have installed the IOS Simulator 8.4 (when I run my project it runs in the last selected simulator) and XCode 6.4.
Looks like Xcode hides that menu when the window is a certain size. I have to make my window quite large before it comes back.
Not a fix as such but you can work around it using the menus: Product > Scheme and Product > Destination
You're probably running into the same issue I am. Like #BrandonWilliams said in his answer, it appears again if the Xcode window is wide enough. The underlying cause, for me at least, seems to be that in this build of Xcode (6.4) running on El Capitan beta 2 (with Xcode 7 beta installed), I am seeing duplicate simulators for iOS 8.4. And since there are two of the same version, the Schemes dropdown shows some sort of long GUID next to each one, causing the Scheme dropdown to be quite large:
I came to SO looking for an answer but realized that I had seen this issue before.
So the problem is basically that auto layout sucks (I mean it is not working properly in Xcode 6) and on El Capitan, the destination toolbar is for some reason hiding instead of collapsing properly. So when your Xcode window is narrow, the destination toolbar disappears.
But, if you expand the window far enough, it shows back up again.
In case you can't tell, in the first screenshot, the window is about 1241 pixels wide and in the second screenshot the window is 1541 pixels wide.
Go to Product then Destination and choose at which simulator or device you want to test your build.
I'm running with same problem. You can select device or change scheme using below steps:
Select Product from menu
Select Scheme or Destination
Select required Scheme option or Destination option
Alternative Solution:
The only solution is to use Xcode 7 or above. I've installed Xcode 7.1 and found Scheme/Simulator list available. Refer screenshot.
It seems that Xcode 6 or below doesn't support OS X El Capitan.
I am still seeing this problem in Xcode 7.2 on iMac with resolution 1920x1080. Resizing the XCode windows dens't help. I can have the menu bar back if I push the green button and go to full screen mode. But that's pretty annoying. This is how I finally figure out a solution that works for me. I notice that only if I open the project file that I have been working daily that the menu bar is missing. If I create a new project, the menu bar is there. And here is my solution:
Remove your project file on disc (or move it to a different folder)
Open the Welcome to Xcode window by shift+command+1
Make sure your project is no longer under this list. If it is still there, click on it and Xcode will tell you the project is not found and it will be removed.
Add the project file back and open it and I have my menu bar back (if you have moved it, simply opening it from a different file location may work I guess)
I guess the problem is that some cache value in Xcode about the project file is messed up somehow. Hope this helps.
I make my XCode screen little big and now find both options.
On XCode 9.0 beta, this worked for me: select View -> Show Toolbar from menu
right click on title bar -> select show toolbar
Fixed it by deleting the following file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist and restarting Xcode.
The downside is that Xcode preferences dropped to defaults obviously.
Is it possible to 'simulate interface' in xcode 4.6? The command seems to be missing :-(
I am using Xcode 5 and you can find this feature under Editor-> Simulate Document (not the Edit menu) as others have pointed out.
However, this feature is only available for Mac xibs and is not available for iOS xibs.
I am guessing this was probably the same situation in Xcode 4.6 back when the question was originally asked, hence the confusion in the other questions and comments.

It seems, NO
In xcode 4.6, you can find from menu bar:
Editor (NOT Edit) menu >> Simulate Document
This one may be helped :)
Why do I get these when trying to type in the search bar and how can i not have permissions on my own computer? mental
Check out if this link will help you in any way
Unable to view Xcode 4.2 help “index.html” is locked for editing

EDIT : if you are using a beta version of xcode 4.2 this is a pretty common issue i have seen on few sites.
Just try these steps and see whether it works
1.Open Xcode menu > Preferences...
2.Click Downloads category
3.Click Documentation tab
4.Select "iOS 5.0 Library"
5.Click Check and Install Now
Hope this helps
