I have take Referenced from Xamarin Hello World Tutorial . But I have not getting the IOS Simulator Option in devices drop down. It have only two option ,Ios Device and Default.For the simulator ,Is There need any Installation or something else.Please help me and any help will be Appreciated.

Solution 1

It was the Issue of xcode version.I have updated the version Now ots working fine.Thanks JAL.

Solution 2

Does it find XCode in the right location? Check by clicking Xamarin Studio>Preferences>SDK Locations>Apple. If the Apple SDK was not found, you can manually specify XCode location path.

Solution 3

I had this problem because I was trying to create and use an iOS project using the "Unified API." I suggest not using this and sticking with the "Classic API." The former does not work (it won't build) if you want to use the simulator rather than a real device.

I have the same problem as the OP, using Xamarin Studio on the Mac. If I open one of the Xamarin sample projects (I've tried two) I have various iPhoneSimulator configurations available, but for my projects I create newly in Xamarin Studio, only "iOS Device" and "Default" are shown, and "Default" cannot be selected. It always goes to the iOS Device value, and it won't build because I have no devices attached. I need to use the simulator. The build configuration settings are completely fine in my new projects; there are iPhoneSimulator configurations available. Just can't select them.
