For those here with the same problem but for Xcode 10.x and need iOS 13 simulators (iPhone 11, for instance) do the following:

  1. Install and open Xcode 11
  2. Go to Xcode menu > Open Developer Tool > Simulator
  3. On the Simulator app, go to Hardware menu > Device > iOS 13 to select and run your desired device
  4. Now you can close Xcode 11, and open Xcode 10.x
  5. You should see your i.e iPhone 11 simulator available in the Device List as the image:
