"Required content for platform iOS Simulator is missing" when trying to run Xcode 11 beta

I'm on 10.14.5 Mojave and have non-beta Xcode 10.2.1 installed.

After I downloaded the xip file from my dev account and unzipped it, I tried running the "Xcode-beta".

All that happened was a dialog box popped up saying "Required content for platform iOS Simulator is missing. Please reinstall Xcode"

I tried moving it to my Applications folder, but this didnt help either.


Any suggestions?

In my Xcode 10.2.1 I can run the simulator.


Thank you!

This happens when your xcode-select does not point to the Xcode-beta.app installation. To fix this, run:

[sudo] xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app

This just happened to me. The issue was that I was too impatient and didn't see that the .app file was still copying into my Applications folder. Xcode opened fine once the copy finished.
