Older version iOS simulators, like 6 or 5 with XCode 5.1 and OS X 10.9.2

Question

When I writing this question these are the latest XCode and OS X versions, just updated yesterday.

I can not believe that the only iOS version is 7.1 I can test my application against with the simulator... Or Apple suppose that all the mobile device owners have this latest iOS, and I as a developer targeting these users should share this crazy idea?

I must missed something, please point it out.

Almost forget: Where is the home button? See attached picture.

Answer 1

To download older versions:

Xcode / Preferences... / Downloads / You can download older Simulator versions from there

However,you are right, in Xcode 5.1 the only 2 older versions available are 7.0 and 6.1 if you are running Maverick.

Home Button: Shift + cmd + H

Answer 2

iOS 5 simulator is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Maverick), so unless you have older machine with older OS, you're out of luck.

Other simulators you can download via Xcode Preferences - Downloads area. There's 6.1 and 7.0 currently.

Home button in simulator is shift-command-H (check the simulator menubar)
