All simulators disappear from Xcode 8.3 after having tried Xcode 9 beta 3. It is not possible to re-add them later unless doing a hack.

Product:Xcode Product Version:Xcode 9.0 beta 3 (9M174d)

Area:
Xcode

Summary:
The issue is described in this StackOverflow thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44649141/missing-simulator-in-xcode-8-3-2-after-installing-xcode-9-0-beta.

After I had downloaded Xcode 9 beta 3 and tried some projects with it I was not able to find any simulators in Xcode 8.3.3.

The topic above suggests running from the menu: Xcode / Open Developer Tool / Simulator, restart Xcode and then simulators appear again.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Have working Xcode 8.3.3 installation. 
- Download Xcode 9.0 beta 3 (9M174d), run some apps with it. 
- Switch back to Xcode 8.3.3

Expected Results:
Continue working with Xcode 8.3.3, with all of its simulators available.

Observed Results:
Simulators are missing in Xcode 8.3

Version:
Xcode 8.3.3 (8E3004b) and Xcode 9.0 beta 3 (9M174d)
