Xcode 27 simulator missing? Simulator.app is deleted from the toolchain — not deprecated, not
renamed. It and the Devices and Simulators window are replaced by Device Hub, one list managing
virtual and physical devices together.
The dangerous part is not the relocation. SimulatorKit.framework moved out of
Contents/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ and into Contents/SharedFrameworks/, and every tool
hardcoding the old path fails. Xcode still opens, the project still builds, Previews still render.
The failure only appears in automation — usually during a release freeze.
Covers where each old Simulator menu item now lives in Device Hub, the five things that hardcode
the dead path, what xcrun mcp-server replaces it with, and a six-step CI check to run before
September 14. Not an introduction to the iOS Simulator.
