Apple M1 Pro, 26.5.1 (25F80) XCode 27.0 Beta (27A5194q) Command Line tools for Xcode 27 are installed. Device Hub Version 27.0 (235.4.2)
Within device hub I can not create iOS 27 simulators. Only the 26.5 simulators are listed there. I installed the iOS 27.0 SDK. Also deleted and reinstalled it. The computer was restarted. No change. I am unable to create the proper iOS 27 Simulators. Any idea why this is not working?
Thanks for the help upfront.
I'm having a similar issue. The weird part is that the app is clearly running, I can see the logs on Xcode, but the device hub doesn't show any iOS 27 simulator.
Thank you for the post, are now the simulators downloaded? Have you followed the recommendation to download those using Xcode?
Do you have more than one Xcode installed? It is highly likely that either the system is still pointing to the older Xcode version, or the Simulator Runtime itself hasn't been fully registered by CoreSimulator.
Device Hub uses the active Xcode path to determine which simulators are available. Even if you installed the Command Line Tools for Xcode 27, the system might still be pointing to your stable Xcode 26.5 installation.
Open Terminal and check your current path with, I think is that command.
xcode-select -p
Can you provide me what do you see when you go to the Xcode simulator list? I believe a developer already provided this suggestion?
Look for iOS 27.0 in the output, it will usually give you a reason why (e.g., missing dependencies or incompatible macOS version)?
If you go through these steps and xcrun simctl list runtimes what does it show?
Looking forward to get your answers so we can figure it out. Many developers here will be able to help with more suggestions.

I do have old Xcode 26 installed still.
xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer
xcrun simctl list runtimes
== Runtimes == iOS 18.5 (18.5 - 22F77) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-18-5 iOS 26.2 (26.2 - 23C54) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-26-2 iOS 26.4 (26.4.1 - 23E254a) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-26-4 watchOS 11.5 (11.5 - 22T572) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.watchOS-11-5 watchOS 26.0 (26.0 - 23R351) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.watchOS-26-0
I removed and redownloaded iOS 27 platform again and still no luck.
@mwcs01 Thanks, have you tried to download the simulators manually from Xcode as @newwbee recommend?
Open Xcode 27 Beta. Go to Xcode > Settings > Platforms. Ensure that iOS 27.0 Simulator is listed and fully downloaded. If there is a "Get" button next to it, it hasn't been downloaded yet.
If it shows as downloaded but isn't working, right-click it, select Delete, and re-download it directly through this menu rather than externally
