I'm running Xcode 12 GM (12A7209). When I go to Preferences > Components it doesn't show "iOS 13.7 Simulator" as an option. The newest I see is "iOS 13.5 Simulator".

When I run this, it says the runtime is not installed:

Code Block $ xcrun simctl create "iPhone 11 Pro (13.7)" com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPhone-11-Pro com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-13-7
Invalid runtime: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-13-7

I tried installing Xcode 11.7, and am able to build/run on an iOS 13.7 simulator. However, I can't get it to show up in Xcode 12 which is where I need it.

Does anyone know how to manually install the iOS 13.7 Simulator runtime?

Not all point releases are supported via the Simulator in all examples.

It's not recommended to manually install components such as this, so...

Note the max I see via Xcode 12 is 13.5 as well.

If it is critical that you test against 13.7 proper, and you don't wish to side-saddle Xcode 11.7. you may need to find a device that is still on it.

Good luck.
