Is it possible to add support of iOS 5.1 simulator in OS X 10.9? - xcode

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)

XCode simulator runtime is not supported on macOS 11.1

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!

Is it possible to run on iOS 9.3.1 from Yosemite?

When I try to run from XCode 6.4 I get "iPad may be running a version of iOS that is not supported by this version of Xcode." It won't let me open the Xcode beta either, saying it needs to be on OS 10.11. I need to install an app right now though. Is there a way to do it from Yosemite?
Apple have recently dropped support for Xcode on Yosemite. The last supported version is 7.2.1. If you want to use Xcode 7.3 which supports iOS 9.3 and above you'll need to use El Capitan which is a free update for Yosemite users.

Can I install XCode 7.3 on OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

I'm unable to upgrade my OS X to 10.11, due to reasons.
XCode 7.3 seems to be the first XCode not to be compatible with Yosemite 10.10.
Has anyone succeeded in getting XCode 7.3 to work on Yosemite?
(What's the important update to XCode that has to make it uncompatible with Yosemite?)
Unfortunately no, you can not.
You need OS X 10.11 or later (El Capitan), since March 21st.
So you either update from Yosemite to El Capitan or stick with your current Xcode.
Important? I will say not that much... iOS 9.3 and Swift 2.2, if you are fond of... With the rest of the OSs. The rest is pretty much the same, it's not a major update.
IF you are here because you updated your device (iPhone, Apple TV etc) and can no longer export your apps to this updated device, there is a workaround!
You can actually copy the newest version of iOS XCode SDK from a newer version of XCode into your older version of XCode.
1
Rename your old XCode.app to XCode7.app, and install the latest version of XCode (yes you can have multiple versions)
2
Grab the folder in your new XCode package content folder:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/10.3\
And add it in the same place of your XCode 7.3 or 8.2 version
/Applications/Xcode7.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
Restart XCode and you will be able to keep working!

Xcode 3 and iOS 6

A newbie question. I have Xcode 3.2.6 and my ipad is iOS 6.0. It seems this version of Xcode doesn't support the iOS version. What version do I need to upgrade my Xcode to so that I can test apps on devices running iOS 6.
And, my second question do I have to download the .dmg to upgrade Xcode. Currently I am running snow leopard 10.6.8.
For iOS 6 you will need Xcode 4.5 and at least Lion (10.7)
You need OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later to install the latest version of Xcode from the AppStore. Then you will be able to build apps to your device with iOS 6.0.

xcode 4.2 with ios5.1

I have Xcode version 4.2 with OS X 10.7.2, and I was trying to install our app on the new iPad, which is running iOS 5.1. The problem is Xcode doesn't recognize the iPad as a deployable device. I know this is a common issue, but please read it all.
I get this in the organizer: (after push the "use for development")
The version of iOS on “iPad” 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.
OS Installed on iPad
5.1 (9B176)
Xcode Supported iOS Versions
Latest
5.0 (9A334)
4.3
4.2
Now I know that in order to connect the iOS 5.1 device to Xcode I need the latest release of Xcode, but I can connect another iPhone with iOS 5.1 to the same Xcode and deploy an app to it.
Why is that?
The only different between them is that this iPhone was previously connected to Xcode, and the iPad was not. I did manage to install an app to iPhone with iOS 5.1!
What is happening here? I don't want to install the new Xcode for nothing if I can install to 5.1.
Thanks.
Xcode will not let you build to an iOS version higher than it supports, and in this case with Xcode 4.2, you will not be able to deploy to iOS 5.1. I recommend updating to OS X Lion 10.7.3 and downloading the 4.3.2 version of Xcode. Do this any you will be able to deploy to your 5.1 device without any problems. In addition to this, the second device should not be able to receive builds from Xcode. Please check and see if the device in question is in fact running iOS 5.0.1 and not 5.1 as 5.1 will not work on Xcode 4.2 and 5.0.1 will.
