I have Xcode 12.4 installed on my mac machine. In the Visual Studio, in info.plist, Minimum system version and Deployment target is 9.0.
I cannot see the list of simulators. I have opened the xcode and tried to create a sample project. In Xcode the simulators were loaded successfully. Simulator version is ios 14.3. But in Visual Studio its not getting loaded.
Please help me to resolve this issue.

2021-07-06T07:46:01.517+00:00 Updating XCode worked for me. If you don’t want to update XCode, you can check the Apple SDK path (tools-> SDK Manager->Projects->SDK Locations -> Apple) and restart VS to have a try. If it still doesn't work, you can write a feedback (help-> report a problem).

2021-07-06T09:45:09.623+00:00 You are right, I updated MAC OS to Big Sur yesterday, Xcode 12.5 is only supported in this version.

2021-07-07T06:58:11.34+00:00 Maybe it will affect your code, If you don’t want to update XCode , you can check the Apple SDK path in VS for MAC，wish it works for you.
