Answer 1

Actually, there is a way. You just need to copy DeviceSupport folder for iOS 7.1 from Older Xcode to the new one. It's located in:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/7.1

If you don't have the 7.1 files anymore, you can download a previous version of XCode on https://developer.apple.com/download/more/, extract it, and then copy these files to following path

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
