Hi,

I have downloaded the latest Xcode from Mac App Store, but in that version the simulators for 13.4 is not available. Is there a way I can get them? Unfortunatly I deleted the Xcode beta when the new version appeared in Mac App Store.

Alltough the issue is not entirely fixed, the following steps to reset simulators provided by Apple helped get the default simulators back:

1. Quit Xcode, Safari, and Console

2. Move or delete "~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices"

3. Run "killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService"

4. Make sure the correct Xcode is selected with "xcode-select -p"

4. Re-launch Xcode or run "xcrun simctl list devices"

iOS 13.4 sim, example iPhone 11 Pro Max, works for me. I see a total of 11 iOS 13.4 devices, iPhone & iPad.

Did you b'chance rename Xcode, and/or install somewhere besides /Applications, on your boot drive?

Did you install from the store or update an existing install? Did you download it from another source?

Have you ever hybridized an Xcode?

Which macOS are you running, on what mac?

Espen's reply was the one that worked for me in version Xcode 12.4 when all my simulators went missing. Seems like some of the simulators lose connectivity or go into a corrupt state and the whole list doesnt get returned.
