Not finding iPad 6th gen (2018) simulator with Xcode 9.3.1 and iOS SDK 11.3

I'm using a Mac with OS High Sierra (10.13.3) and have installed Xcode version 9.3.1 also have the iOS SDK 11.3.

I can find the simulator for iPad (5th generation) in the list but not the iPad (6th generation)

Please let me know if I'm missing anything here.

Ignore iPad gens - there would be duplicate sims if that were the case.


Focus on screen size, instead:

  • 12.9”
  • 10.5”
  • 9.7”
  • 7.9”


In your case, all you need is a simulator that supports 9.7" retina.


You may want to update your IDE, tho - current is macOS 10.13.4 and Xcode 9.4

The device type profile for the 'iPad (6th generation)' does ship in Xcode 9.3 and 9.4. However, the device is not created by default. You can go to the Devices Window to manually create the device.
