I'm trying to test my app with ios7 using Xcode 6's simulator but I can't find the option to change it. Currently it only loads ios8 while my deployment target is set to 7.
Also according to this message from Apple:
Starting February 1, 2015, new iOS apps uploaded to the App Store must include 64-bit support and be built with the iOS 8 SDK, included in Xcode 6 or later. To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
Does this mean that new apps cannot run on ios7 anymore?
Thank you for your help.
First, Change Deployment Target to 7.You can change Deployment target from target under Deployment Info.
Go to Xcode Preferences, Select Downloads tab and download iOS7 Simulator.
Now go to Xcode, you can find iOS7 Simulator on target device list, if not than quit and restart Xcode.
Hope it will help.
The deployment target is the minimum version of iOS that your application will be expected to run on. It effects how your app is BUILT and not where you run it. You need to choose an iOS 7 device from the run destinations menu and then do a Build&Run to build, install, and run the app on the iOS 7 device.
If you don't have an iOS 7 simulator device in the run destinations menu, go download the iOS 7 runtime from Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
Yes you can, go to xcode(7) preferences>select Components here you can download Simulater and Documents also.

I have code which was initially developed on Xcode 3.2. It was then later update to become compatible with ios 7. But now when I run that code with Xcode 9 GM, it run alright on any iOS 10.x device.
But crash on iOS 11 device with following error detail:
Plus: When i open this project with Xcode 9 GM, Xcode doesn't show iPhone X simulator.
I think you have some old static libraries. iOS 11 supports only 64-bit libraries.
And also you can check Deployment target of your app. Maybe it's too low (I think ios7 deployment target is not supported now).
I think your app is running on 32-bit
As a reminder, new iOS apps and updates submitted to the App Store must support 64-bit. Support for 32-bit apps is not available in iOS 11 and all 32-bit apps previously installed on a user’s device will not launch
64-bit Apps on iOS 11
I don't know what is you exact scenario but possibilities of crash with payload could be following. Hope anyone of below all will work for you.
Please Try Following.
Disable "Enable guard Malloc" from diagnostics.
OR
You Can do Following:
delete all certificates from keychain.
Quit xcode
Delete xcode derivedData and delete all provison profiles
Restart mechine
Download latest certifcates and provison profile from Member Center
Click on certifcate i will install in keychain access.your key chain access should like this
OR
if you are using custom framworks, you need to put it inside the Embedded Binaries section located in the Xcode project under the tab Target / General.
I have installed the SDK's for 6.x and 7.0 in xcode and I'd like to test my app on ios6 in the simulator using titanium studio.
After poking around for some time I still can't find a way to select a different iOS version in my run configurations. As you can see, SDK's are installed and I can select them in the simulator itself, but the only way to test the app is by launching 7.0 (Titanium won't launch anything else).
Manually switching between versions and relaunching the app from titanium doesn't help either.
Looks like Titanium Studio has problem with simulator settings. Compiling project from console with titanium build -p ios will run your app on simulator with current settings. Also you can use additional flags to force different type of simulator:
--retina use the retina version of the iOS Simulator
--sim-64bit in combination with --retina flag & --tall flag, start the 64-bit tall version of the retina simulator
--tall in combination with --retina flag, start the tall version of the retina device
I have installed Xcode5 with iOS 7 SDK but I am not able to test iOS 6 simulator or prior in Xcode 5.
I have tried Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Components but it doesn't show an option for downloading the iOS 6 simulator.
Open Preferences (⌘+,) then go to the Downloads tab. There you can download the simulator for the iOS you want.
This can be found where you choose the simulator and then click on "more simulators..."
To add on to Joan Cardona answer, the "More Simulators" option will only be available if your deployment target is below 7.0 .
Target -> Project Name -> Under 'Deployment Target'
Change your Deployment Target to anything lower than 7.0. The "More Simulators" option will then be visible.
Go to Xcode and it's under Xcode > Preferences.
Still we can use ios 6 simulator in xcode 5.1.
If you cant see iOS 6 simulator in downloads. Try this one,
download xcode 4 sdk and copy the ios 6 simulator sdk from xcode4,
[Application->xcode 4 ->contents->developer->platforms->iphone
simulator platform->developer->sdk folder.]
And paste ios 6 simulator sdk to xcode 5, [Application->xcode5->
contents->developer->platforms->iphonesimulator
platform->developer->sdk folder]
I followed this steps and got ios 6 simulator,. see below
I had this issue and resolved it by closing Xamarin studio.
Makes sense in hindsight...
Please click on active scheme and select "More Simulator",There you can download the simulator for the iOS.

i changed the base sdk for iOS 6.1 in xcode 5 .
When i simulate my project on a iOS 6.1 simulator or on a iOS 6.1 device
all works fine. But when i build a ipa and install it on a iOS 7 device
the device use the iOS 7 sdk and my hole app looks weird. I changed my base
sdk for iOS 6.1, so why use my device the iOS 7 sdk?
I read that iOS 7 use the iOS 6.1 sdk for old published apps.
What do i have to do that iOS 7 also do that for my app?
My only idea is to install xcode 4 again...
I have experienced the same problem - unfortunately only discovered AFTER submitting to the app store and the app being approved and released, causing all sorts of mayhem due to interface glitches.
The issue occurs due to a bug in XCode 5 (including in XCode 5.0.2 it seems) that is triggered when you install older SDKs.
When you have multiple SDKs installed, you will see that when you connect your device to XCode, there are multiple entries for your device, with no way to tell them apart. But it appears that the TOP entry is for the OLDEST SDK you have installed, the BOTTOM one for the NEWEST SDK.
I have found that if I first use "Test" project option to run the app on the device with the SDK I want to use (in my case the top entry, which is for iOS6.1 SDK), then that is the SDK that will subsequently be used when I archive the app.
You can have both xcode 5 and 4.6.3 installed.
Also a lot of post say that in the simulator it look iOS7 but on device it will look iOS6.1 if you set the base sdk to 6.1
see:
Is it possible to install iOS 6 SDK on Xcode 5?
Do apple allow custom iOS 5/6 style UI for iOS7?
OK, as it turns out, I did not explain my question very well at all. here is a complete re-write.
I have Xcode 4/iOS SDK 6.1 installed. I want to install and use Xcode 5 but want to use iOS6.1 SDK. I know that I can download iOS6.1 SDK from Xcode 5. But, I want to avoid that since the iOS 6.1 is already in my hard drive. Is there any way I can avoid having to download iOS6.1 SDK again.
You download Xcode 5 from the Appstore.
In preferences / Download you can download the iOS 6.0 and 6.1 Simulator
In Project Info you set the iOS Development Target to 6.1 and in the Storyboard you can chose as which iOS (6.1 or 7.0) the Views should be displayed.
EDIT: Also, Xcode5 supports earlier iOS with the same files you already have. There is no need to separate iOS 7 from the earlier Versions.
No need. Xcode 5 supports iOS 6 integration. For more info about this, look at this post: Can one develop for iOS 6 using XCode 5 on Mavericks (OS X 10.9)?
EDIT
Here is how iOS 6 SDK can be installed in Xcode 5 (requires Xcode 4 to get the SDK)
In finder, go to Applications, and find Xcode (4)
Right Click into Show package Contents
Navigate to Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs
Copy iPhoneOS6.1.sdk
Once you download/update-to Xcode 5, go into the same folder, where you should see iPhoneOS7.0.sdk
Paste the SDK in this folder

Although this question isn't really meant for SO (More for Superuser),
Can I have multiple Xcode versions installed?
how to install two versions of xcode
This should answer your question. (The installer gives you the option of where to install it; you can simply choose a different directory)
