That is too bad. I suspect this old man is a minority but I still read books. Online is great to "look stuff up" as a reference, and AI is a great reference source too, but reading the entire language specification cover to cover is an entirely different proposition and really can not be done "online". I am fine with an "online" book. If you only use it as a reference you only learn what you are looking for, and maybe a few things related and "nearby".

If you have not submitted a bug report yet, I suggest you do so. I tend to think that is a good way to let the development team know how many people it is effecting. I put in a bug report when I first found this which is now over 1 year ago. I kinda assumed that it would be fixed with iOS 16, but not an update to iOS 15. I was surprised when it was not corrected in 16. My guess is very few people have put in any kind of a bug report on this issue and so it is not very high on the priority list.

FYI - I have retested this again with macOS Ventura (13.0.1), XCode Version 14.2 (14C18), Simulator Version 14.2 (986.5), running iOS 16.2 (20C52). There is no change, the location services part of the privacy section of the settings app on iOS running on the simulator is still missing.

FYI - I have retested this again with macOS Monterey (12.3.1), XCode Version 13.3.1 (13E500a), Simulator Version 13.3.1 (977.2), running iOS 15.4. There is no change, the location services part of the privacy section of the settings app on iOS running on the simulator is still missing. I know it was only a minor update, but I figured I would take a look and see if it was fixed. :-)

FYI - I have retested this again with macOS Monterey (12.3), Xcode 13.3 (13E113), Simulator 13.3 (977.2), running iOS 15.4. There is no change, the location services part of the privacy section of the settings app on iOS running on the simulator is still missing. I have updated the bug report to say the same.

Just an FYI - I have retested this with macOS Monteray (12.1) with Xcode 13.2.1 (13C100) on the Xcode simulator running iOS 15.2. The behavior does not change, the location services part of the privacy section of the settings app is still missing on the iOS simulator. I updated the bug report to say the same.

Got it, thank you for the response.

Quinn - Were you able to confirm or find any information on the missing location privacy settings in the simulator? Did you find the Feedback Assistant Bug Report I entered on this issue?

The ticket number in Feedback Assistant is FB9643935

That is me on StackOverflow. I also issued a bug to Apple via Feedback Assistant on September 21, 2021 and have not yet had any response. I was hoping this would resolve in Xcode 13.1, but clearly it has not.
