For those here with the same problem but for Xcode 10.x and need iOS 13 simulators (iPhone 11, for instance) do the following:

1. Install and open Xcode 11
2. Go to Xcode menu > Open Developer Tool > Simulator
3. On the Simulator app, go to Hardware menu > Device > iOS 13 to select and run your desired device
4. Now you can close Xcode 11, and open Xcode 10.x
5. You should see your i.e iPhone 11 simulator available in the Device List as the image:

So in the application list, we must need to keep both Xcode?

Unfortunately yes. Or you could still migrate your project to be opened with latest Xcode version

Hello priyalp, for better and faster answers you could format your question with markdow (see github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet) and add tags (maybe Xcode)

I am using Xcode 10.1 (Simulator is also 10.1) but I have no iOS 13 in the list - I only have 11.4, 12.0, and -12.1. Is there a way to add iOS 13 so that I can get the iPhone 11 simulator?

@Greg You have to install Xcode 11 too, then follow the steps above.

@Luiz - I was afraid of that - I believe am maxxed out at macOS 10.13.6 and therefore Xcode 10.1.
