Hi Everyone.

I'm trying to use Accessibility Inspector thats included with Xcode 13.3 and it fails to identify UI elements with Target mode... basically the entire iOS simulator is a green/unreadable element. Besides the fact that is hangs a lot is this tool completely broken now?

If I try to run an audit it just throws the warning:

Element has no description This SimulatorKit.SimDisplayRenderableView is missing useful accessibility information.

Note that no matter what app I try to inspect, it always fails, it also fails when I try to inspect the springboard / home screen.

It worked fine in 13.2.1 and now its completely broken.

Reverted back to Xcode 13.2.1 and Accessibility Inspector started working just fine. I guess the trend of breaking the dev tools continues with 13.3....
