Xcode 9 - no iOS 11 simulator

Viewed 21012

When I open up the new Xcode 9 and go to Preferences > Components I don't see an option to download iOS 11 simulators. I'm 100% sure I have the latest Xcode 9 beta 4 No iOS 11 sims :(

I did some research and found out that Xcode downloads an index to determine what it is able to download. For me that was: https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/downloads/xcode/simulators/index-9.0.0-CA351AD8-3176-41CB-875C-42A05C7CDEC7.dvtdownloadableindex

Basically one is able to use it for any Xcode version by determining the DTXcoce:
defaults read /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Info DTXcode .
A result like 0900 must be converted to 9.0.0

And the DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID:
defaults read /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Info DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUID

Then download: https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/downloads/xcode/simulators/index-<the DTXcode>-<the UUID>.dvtdownloadableindex .

And lastly in order to be able to open it: plutil -convert xml1 <the downloaded .dvtdownloadableindex file>

Can someone verify I have the right dvtdownloadableindex? Or provide a url to the right version? Otherwise I hope someone can provide the url for the complete simulator package by downloading and cancelling the simulator while looking in to console.app like in this article

enter image description hereJust go to "File" in the simulation window, move your mouse to "Open device", select your ios , and finally select the type of iPhone or device you want.
