After installing Xcode 14 beta 3, the iOS 15 simulators in my Xcode 13 install seem to have vanished. Adding new ones in the Devices and Simulators window does nothing. Deleting both Xcode installs and installing a fresh copy of Xcode 13.4.1 also didn't help.

Seems like I'm not alone:

Anybody have ideas for how to fix?

If you want to remove the beta and return to Xcode 13 only.

  • Make sure you exit either Xcode 13 or 14.
  • Delete Xcode 14
  • Delete the directory /Library/Developer (you will have to sudo to remove it)
  • Restart Xcode 13. It will reinstall the components and you should be good to go.
  • You might have to reinstall the sims you want

I found a solution to this problem, https://developer.apple.com/download/applications/, download this page Xcode13.4.1, after successful installation will automatically reset the Xcode environment, I have tried to succeed

It appears that this has been fixed with an updated build of Xcode 14.0 b3. From the release notes:

Fixed: After installing Xcode 14 beta 3, Xcode 13.3.1 and 13.4.1 no longer show their respective iOS Simulators. Relaunch Xcode 14 beta 3 and bring up the Platforms Preference pane. Afterwards, you can relaunch the older Xcode to get the correct Simulators. (96100752)

The original beta 3 build was version 14A5270e, but it appears the current one is 14A5270f.
