Answer 4

I had exactly the same problem and I could not figure out how to solve it. Then I remembered that I actually have Safari Technology Preview installed on my Mac. And bang. The simulator device is visible in the Develop menu of the Technology Preview version.

Answer 5

You can run into this problem when your Safari version does not support a iOS version on simulator. As a result you can:

• Use a lower iOS version on a simulator
• Restart iOS simulator when Safari is open(sometimes several times)
