If I understand correctly your problem, the simulators you can use depend on the minimum deployment you've defined for your app.

  • Select the app in file navigator panel of Xcode
  • select Targets
  • select general
  • Then set the minimum deployment to iOS 18 or lower if you want to use such simulators.

Then, in the top bar of Xcode window, select the simulator as usual.
