iOS simulator version doesn't appear - Xcode 12.2

I want to test my app in iOS 10, I'm just have tried the flow of add a new iOS simulator like I've made in the past, but the iOS version that I downloaded dons't appear in the list.

I'm using the Xcode 12.2

I've downloaded the iOS 10.3 version

When I try to add a new simulator the iOS 10 doesn't appear in list:

When I try to add a new simulator the iOS 10 download appear in list

The iOS target is set to 10 enter image description here

Edit 1 - I have run this code "xcrun simctl list" in terminal, and that message appear (unavailable, The iOS 10.3 simulator runtime is not supported on hosts after macOS 10.15.99.). It's look like sadly the macOS Big Sur 11.0 doesn't support the iOS 10.3.

Solution

  • After a lot of research I've tried to add a simulator via terminal using "xcrun simctl list" to list the simulators available, one of the infos returned is:

    iOS 10.3 (10.3.1 - 14E8301) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-10-3 
(unavailable The iOS 10.3 simulator runtime is not supported on hosts after macOS 10.15.99.)

    It's look like sadly the macOS Big Sur 11.0 doesn't support the iOS 10.3.

    I think it could be a bug and the Xcode shouldn't allow the download if this iOS version it's not supported, I found in the apple forum that in other macOS versions some thing like this error occurred, see more in the link below.

    Thanks @matt for the support, I really didn't know that I could answer my own question.
