I have application in Xcode and I need to test it on iPadOS 13. But I can not find any hint how to set up iPadOS simulator. I can run iOS 13 on simulator but I want to try my app on iPadOS 13 simulator. Is there any way to achieve this?

Xcode 11.3 supports developing apps for iOS 13.3, iPadOS 13.3, tvOS 13.3, watchOS 6.1, and macOS Catalina 10.15.2.

So make sure you have Xcode 11.3, which is available for

a Mac running macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later.

Also, make a simulator if not already there in Window menu → Devices and Simulators window. Choose device and it should show available iOS/iPadOS. If not present, hit "Download more simulator runtimes" and see if it shows up in the list.
