ios7 - New Xcode 6 Project - How to run in the iOS 7 Simulator

Question

I try to create a new project with Xcode 6 that also runs on iOS 7. I've created a new project and then did the following:

1. Set Project's iOS Deployment Target to 7.0
2. Referenced a Launch Image Source in the Assets

Still, when trying to run on an iOS 7 simulator, the following error is shown:

"iPhone 5s not available. Please select a different device and try again."

(My older projects run fine on iOS 7 simulators.)

How I can make a new project run in the iOS 7 simulator?

EDIT

The output of xcrun simctl list is the following:

Answer 1

I meet this problem too.

1. Preferences -> Downloads -> Components

2. Then click the download button.

   • If you've downloaded them before, Xcode will install them directly.

Maybe you've just update your Xcode. Xcode 6 is not installed 7.x simulators as default. However, you installed them on previous version Xcode.
