I've just upgraged to xCode5 from xCode4, but my iPhone becomes not recognised in xCode5, and after I connect iPhone again, no info pop out to ask me setup my iPhone but xCode4 does.
How to make xCode5 recognise my device again?
Thanks
Go to Organizer (Cmd-Shift-2) and you'll see your device listed there.
Click on the "Use for Development" button that appears for your device.
If the "Use for Development" button doesn't appear, your device is probably still on iOS 6 and Xcode 5 (which has the iOS 7 SDK) might not want to work with a device that has an older OS on it.

I had this error already in Xcode 13 but it still persists
in the current version.
When I connect my iPhone XS to preview my SwiftUI app in the canvas, it shows the iPhone 14 Pro layout. However, when I check on Devices and Simulators, it's correctly recognised as iPhone XS.
So when I design my layout, I always have to switch between the iPhone XS simulator for designing, and my real device for testing.
Does anybody know a way to show the correct device in the canvas?
I have the same issue and I found out that if you want to see the specific device type to canvas, you have to download the simulator for this device.
From the "Windows" tab, choose "Device and Simulators", and then Simulators. At the bottom left of the window, you can add new simulators.
Then choose your device type and download it.
Once you've added a new simulator, you can use PreviewDevice(rawValue: "Your Device Type").
For example:
I added a new iPhone 12 Simulator and use HomeScreen().previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone 12"))
add simulator window
After that, I am able to see my screen as an iPhone 12.
i am using XCode 4.1, when i open an old project it is showing the iPhone device, but it is not detecting the iphone device on a new project.
Thanks
You probably need to go into organizer... devices.. from the Window Menu I believe
Every time I switch Xcode between debugging on my iPhone and running in the simulator it resets the simulated device. I want to run the simulator as an iPhone device, but it keeps changing back to iPad. Does anyone know how to set the configuration so that the simulator defaults to an iPhone device?
I can switch the hardware to iPhone inside the Simulator, but when I go back to Xcode and run a "Build Debug" it reopens the app inside an iPad. The only way I can get it to switch is by using the Overview menu in Xcode, the choices I see are iPad Simulator 3.2 and iPhone Simulator 4.0
And when I switch between device and simulator then it always goes back to iPad.
I got XCode 4 to launch the iPhone simulator instead of the iPad simulator by doing this:
In the "Product" menu, pick "Edit Scheme".
Single-Click "Run *Your_Project_Name* Debug" from the list on the left of the scheme editing window.
At the top of the window notice that the pull-down above "Destination" is set to "iPad 4.3 Simulator".
Change the pull-down to "iPhone 4.3 Simulator".
Click "OK".
In Xcode 9 you can select multiple devices. However an easy way to default to your favorite device is the following:
Choose your device from simulator-hardware-device-os you are working on
Now go to simulators - windows and turn off “ show device bezel”
Now simply close the ones you don’t want
What is the Base SDK set to in your project (General tab)? If it's not 4.0 then I think it may assume you are writing an iPad app.
If you set it to 3.2 wanting to support iOS 3.x, you need to set the base SDK to 4.0, then go into project build settings tab and change the OS Deployment target to 3.1 (or whatever the earliest version is you want to support).
In the iPhone Simulator, go to Hardware>Device, and select "iPhone". Whatever you choose there is automatically saved.
in iOS simulator go to :
File / Open Device / iOS 'versión' in my case (iOS 13.7) / Select the one you need
next time you open the simulator will be open with the device selected.
had the same problem - that is how i found this thread.
in SDK 4.2 make sure that when you open the a new xcode project you choose Product = 'iPhone' - the default selection is Ipad. Then when you save the project the device settings are saved with it.
I just upgraded to iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 4. Since doing so, I have not been able to get the app to launch in the iPhone simulator - it keeps launching in the iPad simulator. I have tried option-clicking the drop-down menu in the top left-corner of Xcode and setting 'Active Executable' to iPhone simulator 3.1.3 but it keeps going back to iPad simulator instead.
What gives? I have no interest in my app running on the iPad and I don't want to test it in the 2X mode in the simulator.
Thanks,
You can't really launch an iPhone app in 3.2.x - sometimes it will pop up - but basically right now it is only for iPad development.
Update for release version of Simulator.
First of all, the title of this question doesn't match the description: Xcode target isn't the same as the simulator hardware device.
If you are writing an app targeting 3.2, it can run on both iPad (using OS 3.2) and lower OS versions on the iPhone. You do this by setting the Base SDK to iPhone Device 3.2, the Targeted Device Family to iPhone/iPad, and the iPhone OS Deployment Target to 3.1 (lower than 3.2).
The iPhone simulator has a menu option for Hardware->Device, which can be set to iPhone or iPad. However, you can only run a 3.2 SDK target in iPad mode, and a Universal app that supports iPad can only use the 3.2 SDK to build.
You can of course set the simulator to iPhone mode and launch your app from Springboard, but that will lose the debugger connection. Switching mode during installation of your app will cause it to crash.
So the short answer is still the same: you can't run a Universal iPad app in the iPhone mode simulator while debugging.
Upper-left corner of the IDE find a dropdown list of Simulator versions - flipped to 3.2 - try to put it back to 3.1.3
and relaunch your app.
This was driving me nuts too, but the answer is right here:

In short, tell Xcode to Build for the 3.2 SDK, then switch the build menu to the 3.1 SDK and tell Xcode to Run the app. Presto, the app starts in the iPhone simulator!
From Apple's documentation: "iPhone OS 3.2 does not support iPhone and iPod touch devices. It runs only on iPad." There's no way to target 3.2 for iPhone, so there's no Simulator. Ergo, you'll have to wait for iOS 4. Fortunately, that's only 4 days away now... of course it won't support the first generation of iPhone devices, but for all other iPhone users it's a free upgrade. Not sure about iPod Touches.
You should be able to change your target platform in your Project Settings.
Changing the target platform and device makes no difference. It always launches the iPad simulator.
If you switch the simulator to iPhone mode, the app just disappears.
This dev environment is a mess.
Short answer: You can change the hardware setting in the simulator. Hardware->Device
Go to Project
Set Active Executable
There are 2 options: Ipad Simulator 3.2 or Iphone Simulator 4.0.
If you choose the Iphone simulator, then it will launch Iphone simulator.
If you choose the Ipad simulator, then it will launch Ipad simulator.
I finally solved this problem myself.
First, install new version of xCode, which is xCode 4.
Then set project scheme to iphone simulator and run app in xCode several times.
And re-install xCode 3 and the problem will be gone away!
I installed Xcode 3.2 beta 5 and I could not find iPad Simulator. Where do I find it?
You are looking for the program iPhone Simulator.
If not, you can test your website in Safari on iPad using the iPhone Simulator (Hardware -> Device -> iPad).
Above is from Technical Note TN2262
If you can't find it via searchlight, than try looking in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/iPhone\ Simulator
After you install the SDK successfully, Run Xcode and create a new project. Select iPad for product.
When you create an iPhone project for iPhone OS 3.2, you will see that every time you Build and Run it, it appears in the iPad simulator instead of the iPhone simulato
There is not much too see when you run the simulator without a project
Go to spotlight and search iOS Simulator. You run that and up pops an iPhone simulator, go to Hardware > Device and change it to an iPad
The iOS Simulator is in Mac HD > Developer > Platforms > iPhoneSimulator.platform > Developer > Applications > (here)
Nicely squirrelled away
Try creating an iPad project and ask to launch it in the simulator.
When running, go to the dock, right click on the icon and select "options".
In the "Options" menu is "Reveal in Finder", which will show you where the simulator currently lives.
Also be aware that the iPhone and iPad simulator are the same application, in the menu for the iPhone Simulator (the actual name of the app) you can select which device you want to simulate (though XCode will automatically switch this for you when you run in debug).
Perhaps this pertains,
From Xcode release notes found under the download selection:

There is no iPad simulator support in this seed.
