I want to test my apps in the iOS 10 simulator, but I'm not sure where to get the .runtime file for iOS 10. I don't see a download for it under Components in Xcode 8. Where can I download the .runtime file for iOS 10 (if it exists)?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I forgot to mention: As I was trying to fix another problem (before I asked this question), I ended up deleting all of my runtimes and redownloading them (except for iOS 10).

I ran into this issue earlier today. After installing Xcode - beta, my simulator was still only displaying iOS simulators 9.3 and below. What eventually ended up working for me was:

  • Killing the currently running simulator with cmd-Q
  • Control clicking (right click) on the Xcode - beta icon in my dock
  • Hovering over "Open Developer Tool"
  • Selecting Simulator from this menu

Once the simulator launched, I began to see iOS 10 in the Hardware -> Device drop down. Hope that helps.
