Xcode extensions

How to install xcode extensions

Drag app to your Applications folder
Run app and exit again.
Go to System Preferences -> Extensions -> Xcode Source Editor and enable the extension
The menu-item should now be available from Xcode's Editor menu.

Xcode integrated terminal

Download open terminal script
Navigate to the location of the script file you just downloaded using Terminal and change its permissions using:

chmod +x xcodeintegratedterminal.sh

In Xcode, go to Preferences -> Behaviors and click the plus sign in the bottom to add a new behavior and name it something like “Open Integrated Terminal”
Tick only the last checkbox, where it says “Run”, and select the location of your .sh file
Click the little ⌘ symbol to the right of your behavior name and select a new keyboard shortcut for your behavior. I recommend: ctrl+alt+command+T

That’s it, you’re done!

To resolve this issue you should add Developer Disk Image of your device ios version to Xcode,So you can follow below:

Download Your desired version of Xcode Developer Disk Image
Copy downloaded file to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

Restart Xcode

Manually Install iOS Simulators in XCode

If for some reason need to download new iOS simulators outside of the normal XCode download process, here is how you do it:

Open Xcode, open preferences, go to the Downloads section.
Open the Console App, clear the console.
Go back to the Xcode preferences. Start the simulator download, then cancel it.

Now in the Console, you will see something about the cancellation with the download URL.

Copy the URL from the Console. Then download it
Finally, copy downloaded file to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads

In Xcode, in the Downloads section, start the Simulator download again, it should find the file you downloaded and install it.
