Any Way to Install App to iPhone 4 with Xcode 8 Beta

Any way to install app to iPhone 4 with Xcode 8 beta?

Actually, there is a way. You just need to copy DeviceSupport folder for iOS 7.1 from Xcode 7 to the new one. It's located in:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/7.1

I've tried it and it works.

EDIT: If you don't have the 7.1 files anymore, you can find them here.

Is there a way to get iOS 7 simulator on Xcode 8 beta

No. The iOS 7.1 Simulator runtime is not supported on macOS 10.11 and newer. Xcode 8 requires macOS 10.11 or newer. Thus they are not compatible based on the host OS requirements.

Run iOS Apps on iPhone with iOS 8 through XCode

You need to download Xcode 6, which includes the iOS 8 SDK. You would download this from the Apple developer site, where you downloaded the iOS 8 Beta image from.

XCode 7 (Beta 3 & 4) Could not download and install iOS 8.* simulator

I found another workaround on the Apple forums for this issue that does not require downloading/having other versions of Xcode. If you run Xcode using sudo the simulator downloads and installs work just fine:

sudo /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode

Note: Once the downloads and installs are complete you should quit Xcode and start it normally.

Update: XCool points out an important safety tip in the comments that I wanted to highlight here:

Make sure that you close any projects before opening Xcode using sudo, otherwise there'll be a lot of permission issues with any files that are currently open when the installation occurs.

Use Xcode 8 with iOS 11

Check this out: As of now this is only for Debugging on iOS device not Simulator

1. Download the SDK from Apple
2. Copy this iOS 11.0 image file to: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
3. Restart Xcode.

How to install iOS 7 and onwards simulators in Xcode 7 Beta 5?

Older Simulator runtimes are available for download through Xcode's preferences.

Goto Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads to see the list of compatible legacy simulator runtimes.

El Capitan supports iOS 8.1 and newer runtimes.

Yosemite supports iOS 7.1 and newer runtimes.

There is a known issue mentioned in the Xcode release notes which prevents the iOS 7.1 simulator runtime from working in Xcode 7.

Thus, you can't currently use the iOS 7.1 simulator runtime with Xcode 7.
