Hello, colleagues.

For clarity, I will demonstrate the screenshots first, and then add a description.

It is not possible to load older versions of the simulation directly into XCode (see screenshots above).

MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020 macOS Ventura (13.0 (22A380))

Also tried this options:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29058229/download-xcode-simulator-directly

https://gist.github.com/rtrouton/f03fdca4b847ef4077b7979e7f1a5711

but it didn't work, because the drop-down list (screenshot 4) only allows you to download simulators from version 13.7. There are no simulators for iOS devices below 13.7.

How can I solve my issue?

Regards, Yan

iOS simulator runtimes older than iOS 13.7 are not supported on macOS 13. The simulator runtimes supported are determined by both what Xcode supports and what the host OS supports.

This page shows the supported SDKs in each version of Xcode, and while it says Xcode 14.0.1 supports iOS 12.4, it's not present in your screenshots. So yeah, that's an issue. I'd raise with as a bug.
