Unable to run automated test on iOS simulator: "No WDA on the device"

Unable to run the automated test on iOS simulator.

I have ran these same tests before updating Mac OS to Monterrey and updating xcode and it worked. After the update as soon as I run the same test the errors are:

The simulator has '0' bundles which have 'WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner' as their 'CFBundleName': [debug] [35m[WebDriverAgent][39m No WDAs on the device.

[debug] [35m[WD Proxy][39m Proxying [GET /status] to [GET http://127.0.0.1:8100/status] with no body [info] [35m[WD Proxy][39m connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8100 [debug] [35m[WD Proxy][39m Matched '/status' to command name 'getStatus'

Environment

@mykola-mokhnach, there are three questions:

1. if I am running on simulator, can I leave the port in Appium (desktop) as it is: 4723, without touching WebDriverAgent port: 8100?
2. Once I run the script, in the simulator it installs the TheApp and WebDriverAgent (app), so I can see two apps being installed, is this normal?
3. At the end of the log, there are errors: [error] [Xcode] Failing tests: [error] [Xcode] [error] [Xcode] WebDriverAgentRunner: [error] [Xcode] -[UITestingUITests testRunner] [error] [Xcode] [error] [Xcode] [error] [Xcode] ** TEST EXECUTE FAILED ** [error] [Xcode] [error] [Xcode] [error] [Xcode] Testing started [error] [Xcode] [error] [WebDriverAgent] xcodebuild exited with code '65' and signal 'null' Is this the way it should be? Thank you.
