Curious Case of the Missing Simulators

xcode simulator

In Xcode I recently encountered an issue where all of my simulators disappeared. In Xcode the canvas would only show a preview for the macOS build and I had no option to preview for any other Apple platform.

The “Devices and Simulator” window was completely empty. The target platforms and simulators are listed as installed in Settings->Components screen in Xcode’s settings.

On the command line, we can confirm this by running xcrun simctl list. Here we see that there are no devices available.
