Xcode 4 - IOS - Simulator not available as build target


I have a weird issue... I'm unable to find the simulator as a device in order to test my application. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? In a new project, it is available though.

Solution

  • Here's what happened to me ... when I updated to the latest version of XCode (4.3.2) I didn't bother to uninstall the previous version. I mistakenly opened my iOS 5.1 targeted project in the older version of XCode that does not know about 5.1 and as a result the simulator was not available. So i would check for the following:

    • See which version of XCode you're currently running
    • Try checking your iOS Deployment Target ... (Targets -> Deployment). If iOS 5.1 is selected change it to iOS 5.0 (the simulator will show up immediately)
