Can't find Device Simulator in Package Manager or its Preferences in 2021.1

I have pre-release packages enabled in Unity 2021.1 but unable to find Device Simulator in the package manager.

It is in fact visible in the Game Window but I can't see its preferences.
I simply want to specify a directory with custom device profiles. Thanks

@fragmentzero In order for you to see Device Manager in the Package Manager, You to check "Enable Preview Packages" in Project Settings>Package Manager.

In order to add a device, You will need to make a text file as per https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.device-simulator@3.0/manual/DefiningCustomDevices.html

Best of luck.

Thanks for the reply. But as you see in the original screenshots, the device manager doesn't show up even with preview (or pre-release as they are called now) packages.

Based on the error message I get when manually adding Device Simulator (com.unity.device-simulator), looks like its not compatible with tech stream version 2021.1. [Package Manager Window] Cannot perform upm operation: Cannot find a version of package [com.unity.device-simulator] compatible with this Unity version (2021.1.0f1). [NotFound].

So that must be it then.

The Device Simulator is now part of the Editor and is accessible from the Game window.
