xcversion simulators returns no results using Xcode 9.3 (beta 4)

[jshier]

Trying to use xcversion to install all of my simulators and I get no results from xcversion simulators and attempting to install any always fails. Is this a change in Xcode 9.3 or perhaps something else?

Can you paste some logs so we could try and see what the errors are and why they might be happening? Thanks!

What logs? There’s no output when I run xcversion simulators and the installation error is the standard not found error. What do you need?

Afraid I can't reproduce this:

$ xcversion simulators

Tried the same thing when I had both 9.2 and the 9.3 beta 4 installed, and in that case I got the same listing for both.

When you tried to install, did you use the form xcversion simulators --install='<name>'? I'd tried it without the = after install and that triggered an error, which threw me at first as it's been a while since I've used it.

My output:

Machine:~ user$ xcversion simulators
Machine:~ user $ xcversion simulators --install='iOS 11.0'
[!] No simulator matching iOS 11.0 was found. Please specify a version from the following available simulators:
Machine:~ user $ xcversion selected
Xcode 9.3
Build version 9Q127n

Even adding --verbose didn't give me any additional output. So how can I debug this?

[jshier]

Okay, it seems that it was due to Spotlight not finding Xcode, despite selected working, installed and simulators did not. Both of those commands should have some sort of output when no versions of Xcode are found, especially if selected returns one.
