How do I access files in the iPhone Simulators "Files app"?

I saved a file on the iOS simulator to the Files App. Specifically, I chose to save into "On My iPhone" > Downloads.

Where can I find this file in Finder on macOS?

I found ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/UUID/data/Downloads but that folder is empty even though when I launch the Files app in my simulator, I clearly see files in the Downloads directory.

I was able to find it by doing a search within the /UUID folder. Apparently files saved to the Downloads folder in the Files app are saved to:

~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/UUID/data/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/UUID/File Provider Storage/Downloads/
