iPhone simulator in Visual Studio 2019: "Device { } not found."

I am running VS 2019 vs. 16.9.4. I have a Xamarin.Forms project and am trying to build & deploy to an iPhone simulator. I can connect to the mac and all seems ok on that end. When I try to start the app for the simulator I get a small window titled "iOS Simulator" which says "Connected", and then changes to "Waiting for device...", and then another small window pops up titled "Xamarin Simulator" which says "The device {GUID here} was not found."

I get this same series of messages regardless of which iPhone simulator I choose.

I have both XCode and Visual Studio 2019 for Mac running on the Mac.

What am I missing?

Today I updated Visual Studio to 16.9.5. The Xamarin.iOS was updates to 14.16.0.5 in Mac hardware. But the remote iOS Simulator still not working.

In Options > Xamarin > iOS Settings I unchecked the Remote Simulator to Windows. Now I managed use the iOS Simulator in Mac hardware through VNC

It's not the dream solution, but works.

It's finally fixed! The remote iOS simulator finally works in VS 2019 16.11.5 and XCode 13.1.
