How to install iOS 10 Simulator

Question

I have an iOS app and I want to check if it's working fine on iOS 10.

I don't have an extra device so I need to check that on the simulator.

The problem is I can't find where to download iOS 10 simulator, am really need to install Xcode BETA or I can download the simulator separately?

Solution

if your aleady used XCode8 beta then follow the below steps, else if your XCode < 8 then you need to upgrate or install the latest version of XCode8 beta

Downloading and Installing Simulators

You install simulators in the Simulators pane of Components preferences. To open Components preferences, choose Xcode > Preferences and click Components at the top of the window.

If I'll upgrade to Xcode 8 beta, will it be possible to run my project on Xcode 7 again?

I have Xcode 8.0 (8A218a) release version installed and there are no iOS10 simulators avaialbe in the components pane. iOS 9.3 is the highest. Is this a known issue?
