Xcode 8 cannot add simulator

I am trying to get started with iOS development so Iinstalled XCode 8 version 8.3

I created a new Game app and I want to run it using a simulator on my iMac.

There are no simulators listed and when I try to add one, nothing happens...


I select 'Add Additional Simulators' and then click 'Add Simulator', the 'Create a new simulator' dialog opens and I select a device like iPhone 7.

The Simulator Name field is always grey unless I type a new name.

But when I click the Create button nothing happens!


I already downloaded more than one simulator - namely iOS 81. Simulator, iOS 10.0 Simulator, iOS 10.1 Simulator.


I have restarted xCode, restarted my iMac, reinstalled xcode.


What am I missing here?

I suspect the backend is under heavy load right now, so it might be best to be patient.
