iOS 17 keeps disappearing from simulator device options

I havent been able to figure out a pattern/cause, but every week or so, my simulator loses most of its available iOS version options. I should have 16.4 and 17 available, but you see I do not.

When I go into xcode, iOS 17.0 has 2 entries, one allegedly available, and one awaiting download.

Clicking "GET" on the grey one just pops a download windows which says its already downloaded.

The only thing that sorts this is a reboot and it's back to normal again - with all my iOS versions available in the simulator.

I dont want to keep having to reboot my dev machine.

What is going on with XCode and how do I fix it for good?

Well, it's apparent somebody in Cupertino had screwed up. Quite possibly an equal opportunity action employee.

Xcode 15.3 on Sonoma; this is still happening.

Faced this a few months ago with 17.2.

Yesterday it started happening with 17.4. Had to reboot before it would even install, but was able to get back to work.

Today it happened again... iOS SDK 17.4 just disappeared.. Downloading it all over again
