I've done a fresh install of Big Sur, installed Xcode 12.2, downloaded iOS 11 and 12 simulators through Xcode->Preferences->Components but can use only the ones for iOS12. Whenever I try to add a new device through Xcode->Window->Devices & Simulators only iOS12 appears in the dropdown for OS version. Selecting Downloading more simulator runtimes... option brings me back to the Components window where there are both iOS 11 and 12 checked.
