I've got a Xamarin Forms solution with iOS and Android projects. The iOS side was working, I switched over and did a bunch of work on the Android side. Now I need to do some more iOS stuff (push notifications) and I can't get the iOS Simulator to kick in. Xcode is installed, VS says it can see the SDK. I can open the simulator from XC but inside VS no matter what Debug combination of the .iOS project I select all I get is "Generic Simulator". Any ideas?

iOS simulators are available only on macOS. The iOS simulator functionality is contained within the Xcode developer tools; however, no coding within the Xcode framework is necessary. When you install Xcode from the Mac App Store, a number of simulators are also installed to your computer.
# Open application folder in Finder First, copy the path to the app folder from Xcode console. Then open Finder, click on Go -> Go to Folder and paste the application directory path. You will now be able to browse all the files in your application folder.
Launching the Simulator, though, always requires opening Xcode and going to Developer Tools. Because the Simulator. app is embedded within the Xcode app bundle, apps like LaunchBar won't find it to index it. LaunchBar, which is my launcher of choice, also ignores aliases, so dragging Simulator.
Try Unload the IOS Project and Reload and Set as a Startup Project, it works for me
