I am trying to get the Xcode 8 simulator to work with iOS 9.3. I downloaded the 9.3 simulator component via Xcode 8 preferences and i can see the 9.3 simulator devices both in Xcode and on the filesystem in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes, however, when i try to run my app in the 9.3 simulator (or manually switch the simulator to the 9.3 hardware, i get message that states the simulator runtime for 9.3 was not found:

 The com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-3 simulator runtime is not available.
 
Download the com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-3 simulator runtime from the Downloads section in Xcode's Preferences.

 % ls /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes
iOS 9.3.simruntime

I know Xcode 8 is beta but was wondering if there is a workaround for this.

Thanks.

I have no workaround for you because yours is the first report of such an issue.

What is the output of 'xcrun simctl list'?

What is the output of 'xcrun simctl --noxpc list'?

What devices are listed in Simulator.app's Devices menu?

Please attach ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/*.log to the radar.

Please take a sysdiagnose and attach it to the radar.

Also, did the install of 9.3 have any issues? Interruption? Error messages? Anything odd in /var/log/install.log from the installation?

I had this issue. Rebooting after installing the new 9.3 simulator via Xcode 8 fixed the issue.
