I can also reproduce this issue, but only when using Xcode under Rosetta. In this case, building and running an iOS app from Xcode builds an Intel (x86) binary of the app and runs it using Rosetta on the simulator. You can verify this in the “Activity Monitor” app, which will show "Intel" in the "Kind" column for the simulated iOS app process. With this configuration, swipe gestures are not working in my app running on the Simulator.
When disabling Rosetta for Xcode using the Finder’s info window, restarting Xcode, and building and running the iOS app again, "Activity Monitor" will show "Apple" (i.e. arm64 architecture) for the simulated iOS app process, and swipe gestures work as expected.
(Note that swipe gestures also work fine in the "Messages" app on the simulator, where you can swipe left on a conversation for revealing the mute and delete swipe actions.)
Mac mini M1 2020, macOS 12.4 (21F79), Xcode 13.4.1 (13F100), Simulator 13.4.1 (977.2), SimulatorKit 618, CoreSimulator 802.6.1
