how to run ios6 simulator in xcode5?

Question

I upgraded my xcode to xcode5，In the directory

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs I got iPhoneOS6.1.sdk/ and iPhoneOS7.0.sdk/

In the directory /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs I got iPhoneSimulator6.0.sdk/和iPhoneSimulator7.0.sdk/

Every time when I ran my app, I can't select the version of the iOS, nor can I select I resolution other than retina. The Xcode5 always use a retina resolution with iOS7:

enter image description here

But what I want to use is the low resolution with iOS6, how could I do? ps: I have set the following settings to iOS6.1

General -> Deployment Target

Build Setting -> Base SDK

I did have downloaded the iOS 6.0 simulator, but I do not have option to use that.

enter image description here

First download the Simulator of IOS 6 from Xcode-> Preferences-> Downloads. once it is download then it will automatically show option for ios 6 simulator. — user1673099, Oct 15 '13 at 13:46
And set your deployment target to 6.0, since the 6.0 simulator won't be available if the target is 6.1. — Guy Kogus, Oct 15 '13 at 14:09

According to my experience, you have to install the iOS 6.0 and iOS 6.1 both, but thank you all the same, you provide me with lots of pictures. – welkinwalker Oct 16 '13 at 01:03

Download Xcode 4.6 dmg file from the apple dev center.

Double click dmg file. Mount it. After then you can automatically use the simulator 6.

Alternatively you can also add the simulator 6 from the Xcode 5 also. But the base SDK will remain 7.0 for Xcode 5.
