Xcode 27 beta 3 Device Hub zoom gesture doesn't work

I am using Xcode 27 beta 3 Device Hub with iPadOS Simulator.

The iPadOS app I'm developing supports a standard two finger pinch/unpinch gesture to zoom in and out.

In Xcode 26 Simulator, I could hold down the option key to zoom in and out with a two finger multitouch gesture.

How can I effect a two finger multitouch zoom gesture with Xcode 27 beta 3 Device Hub iPadOS Simulator?

I tried holding down the option key, which did not work. I tried using a macOS two finger multitouch pinch/unpinch zoom gesture, but this did not work.

I've spent about 30 minutes investigating this, searching through Device Hub Settings and macOS Settings and exploring different permutations of options and reading Xcode 27 beta release notes.

The Option key worked great in Xcode 26 iPadOS Simulator.

I'd appreciate any assistance that an Apple Engineer could provide. Thank you.

I've tested Xcode 27 beta 4 and multitouch zoom gestures do not work in that version either.

I am using macOS 26.5.2. Is it a known issue that Device Hub multitouch zoom gestures require macOS 27?

This is in the Xcode 27 beta 4 release notes: ✅

Device Hub doesn’t currently support sending a two-finger touch to a device or simulator. (169537162)
