How can I download/ install an iOS 7.1.1 simulator - iPhone 5s in xcode 5.1?
In my xcode I have simulators until iOS 7.1?
Can anybody give me a solution please?
This SO question answered your question for iOS 6.x.y, where y is the version number change. I think it is the same for iOS 7.x.y.
Maybe the best idea for testing an app for iOS 7.1.1 is install the app on a (real) device with the same iOS version.

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!
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?

Also, you may use simulator iphone 4s (9.1) and just compile your code for 7.1
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.
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!
I have the latest iOS8 Beta on my iPhone. (Beta 1) And want to start testing my apps with iOS8. But Xcode shows that the latest os is ios 7.1. How can I achieve this?
You need to install xCode6 to Beta test app on iOS8 Devices.
You download from members center.
