I have a major problem with the localization of my app.
Since I updated Xcode to version 6.1.1 (6A2008a) with the new simulator iOS 8.1, I found that the iOS 8.1 simulator no longer works with Localizable.string.
When I turn the stimulator with the version of iOS 7.1 my app works fine and the language changes according to the setting made on the device. Why does this problem occur on 8.1?
Thanks
As mentioned in the Xcode 6.1 release notes, this is a known bug in iOS 8.1 simulator runtime. Please try iOS 8.2 beta in Xcode 6.2 beta, which contains the fix.

Since updating to Xcode 7.1, I have seen the iOS 7.1 Simulators return as a build option. However, when building to these, I get the following error:
The iOS 7.1 simulator runtime is not available.
Unable to open
liblaunch_sim.dylib. Try reinstalling Xcode or the simulator runtime.
Now I know in Xcode 7.0 the iOS 7.1 Simulators were not available, but they also were not visible, so I'm wondering why they have re-appeared?
Can anyone explain what's going on?
Please check How can I run the iOS 7.1 Simulator in Xcode 7.0 beta 2?
Also, you may use simulator iphone 4s (9.1) and just compile your code for 7.1
I've updated Xcode and updated my Swift project, but it's only letting me test in iOS 8.3. Do the betas only let you test the upcoming iOS Beta?
Yes. Download the iOS 7 simulator in the settings.
I have the Xcode Version 6.0.1 (6A317) on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with all iOS 8 simulators. I have also downloaded the iOS 7.1 simulators.
I am developing an app for iOS 8 and iOS 7.
The problem I encounter is that Xcode 6 doesn't show the iOS 7.1 simulators in the devices menu. At some point it did show them but on my newly created Xcode 6 project it does not.
I was looking at some stackoverflow solutions.I have addded the iOS 7.1 simulators Window - Devices - SIMULATORS. They are also checked with "Show in the Run Destionations Menu",however they are not shown.
I found a workaround by setting the Project and Target Deployment Target to 7.1. However, this is a stupid solution since for every test I need to manually switch them forth and back 7.1-8.0
This is my first ipad app and it worked perfectly under Xcode 5.1.1. iOS 7 and iOS 8 (CREATED UNDER Xcode 5.1.1.). Now I have created a project in Xcode 6.0.1. and the project doesn't have the simulators showing correctly and 95% of the app doesn't work.
I am new to iOS development but I suppose that this is a bug, but I am unsure. Please help.
The deployment target is the minimum OS version you intend to support.
As you stated, you need to set the deployment target to 7.1 in order to see the 7.1 simulators. If your deployment target is 8.0, the 7.1 simulators will not be available in the run destinations menu. This is the correct behavior because you can't run on iOS 7.1 if your deployment target is 8.0.
I already had deployment target 7.0 and simulator still wasn't available for 7.1.
I fixed the issue though by going into Xcode preferences, selected Downloads and re-downled the missing 7.1 simulators under 'Components'. Although I previously had 7.1 simulator, the Xcode 6 upgrade had seemed to remove them.
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.
I want my app to run on iOS 5.0 and all newer versions. Should I do all my development work in Xcode 4.2.1, or use the Xcode 4.5 beta? If I implement maps, then will devices running ios 5.0 show google maps while future devices running ios 6.0 show apple maps?
Thanks for your help.
XCode 4.5 beta is for testing and report bugs to apple, test iOS 6, etc. You cannot submit an app with it.
I'd use Xcode 4.4.1 it's the latest non-beta version.
