Duplicated simulator devices

I opened Xcode and suddenly I found the simulator devices duplicated. I'm using the latest SDK and a clean Xcode installation. Screenshot bellow. Any ideas?

I had the same issue. The way I solved it was to delete all the simulators and then add them back. (I think my issue was caused from having both Xcode 6.4 and Xcode 7 beta 3).

  1. Start Xcode
  2. Go to Window > Devices(⇧⌘2)
  3. Select a Simulator and hit Delete (⌫)
  4. Repeat for all of the simulators
  5. Restart Xcode


Hope this helps...

This seems to happen every time I open Xcode 6 and try something in Xcode 7 beta 3 or 4 and reboot.


I've had to delete extra simulators in the Devices window about 6 times.

Thanks for the info nicktmro.


Deletion of thse is a very tedious task. Anyone know an alternate command line or a plist I can prune?

Thanks. I've seen a few reports about this issue over the past few months, but I've never been able to reproduce it myself. I'll give this a try.

I had duplicate watchOS 9.4 simulators after having to download the beta Xcode (bc Apple updated devices without updating Xcode before the fact lol). Going to Xcode -> Settings -> Platforms, removing all watchOS simulators, then selecting "GET" on WatchO 9.4 did the trick for me.
