I tried to run sample ARKit in Xcode 9 iPhone 7 plus simulator. But it failed. Is there any possibilities to check ARKit projects in iOS simulators.

ARKit uses the camera as well as gyroscope and accelerometer to map the world and get the device's relative position, so no you won't be able to use it in the simulator.
