Sometimes those Simulators show but most of the times they disappear and restarting VS for Mac doesn’t work!

You need to be on the correct version of Xcode, or else it won’t list them.

Let’s say the version of Xamarin.iOS you have installed is intended for Xcode 14.0. You upgrade to Xcode 14.1. If the version of Xamarin.iOS you have doesn’t support it, it (should) show a message in the IDE telling you that the version you have is not correct and you either need to downgrade to a supported Xcode, or update Xamarin.iOS (Most likely through the Visual studio for Mac updater, or Xamarin Mac Agent if you’re on Windows)

That’s most likely the problem here.
