Summary: When you open an old Xcode 7 iOS project in Xcode 8 the simulators are all missing, and it is not possible to add any simulators, Xcode appears to be in a broken state. A workaround is required to fix it (in additional notes below). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an iOS project in Xcode 7. 2. Open the project in Xcode 8. Expected Results: Simulators should be usable Actual Results: Simulators are missing Version: Version 8.0 (8A218a) Notes: You can workaround this issue by quitting Xcode 8, right clicking on the xcodeproj to show package contents and delete the xcuserdata folder. Now opening the project again in Xcode 8 and the simulators have returned. Unfortunately any time an Xcode 7 project is openened in the future then this bug returns again. So something is wrong with the xcuserdata between Xcode versions, it is not backwards compatible maybe. Configuration: Attachments:
