I recently got a new MacBook and I'm trying to get my projects up and running on it. When I run on an iOS 14.2 device, it works fine. But whenever I try 13.7 or lower it won't let me run and this error pops up

Failed to start launchd_sim: could not bind to session, launchd_sim may have crashed

I would like this to work so I can test on older devices on this laptop.

Note: I got the new M1 chip MacBook so if that could be an issue please do let me know.

I can't understand how a team like Apple can be dragging an issue like this since 3 years ago and counting. And letting users to fix it themselves with a workaround. Such a pity
