Can't install iOS simulator

Hi, i've been trying to install the latest simulator runtime from Apple and i can't seem to make it work. When pressing "get" in the GUI, i get

Code: 41
User Info: {
    DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-04-09 07:29:25 +0000";

System Information

macOS Version 15.3.1 (Build 24D70)
Xcode 16.3 (23785) (Build 16E140)
Timestamp: 2025-04-09T09:29:25+02:00

And when running xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads -verbose locally, i get the error

    authentication = none;
    category = simulator;
    contentType = cryptexDiskImage;
    dictionaryVersion = 2;
    downloadMethod = mobileAsset;
    fileSize = 8858434688;
    identifier = "com.apple.dmg.iPhoneSimulatorSDK18_4";
    isInternalContent = 0;
    isUserInitiated = 1;
    name = "iOS 18.4 Simulator (22E238)";
    platform = "com.apple.platform.iphoneos";
    simulatorVersion =     {
        buildUpdate = 22E238;
        version = "18.4";
    };
    version = "18.4.0.0";
}. Download failed.

The official download from Apple(developer.apple.com/download/all/) doesn't provide the 18.3 or 18.4 version. As of right now, it seems like i'm bricked from installing and running iOS locally.

i have similar issue, if you have found a solution please share.
