Install Xcode from the Mac App Store, it’s free, but it’s a big download, so make sure you have something to do while it’s downloading. Open Xcode once it’s done installing. Finish initial setup. Right-click the Xcode Application in your Applications folder, then choose “Show Package Contents”, then navigate to /Contents/Developer/Applications/iOS Simulator.app, and drag that app directly into your dock.

iOS and Mac App Testing
While the growth of DevOps has helped move testing into the software development workflow via continuous integration and automated unit and integration testing, there will always be a place for a quality assurance (QA) team to complete more thorough testing before releasing an app update.
iOS simulator testing
Mobile app testing uses a combination of local devices, real device clouds, and iOS simulators (which need to run on macOS instances).
Certain tests need to run in your hand to get a feel for responsiveness and real-world “feel,” and others need to run on real devices to understand complex hardware interactions. That still leaves lots of tests for different device sizes, iOS versions, etc. that can be run more cost-effectively on iOS simulators running on Xcode.
Use MacStadium’s cloud infrastructure to run automated tests or log in using remote desktop tools to click through manual testing as needed.
Mac app testing

Apps built for macOS can be more complex than mobile apps given the inherent difference in use cases. In addition, Mac apps typically need to support more OS versions and interact with more uncertainty.
Far from the walled-garden of iOS, Mac apps need to perform well despite other apps that may be running and peripherals that may be attached.
MacStadium clouds provide QA teams with an easy way to test Mac apps in TONS of different environments using pre-configured VMs with different versions of macOS, different OS settings, different apps running, etc.
