Visual Studio Mac Won't Show iOS Simulators

问题:

I've got a Xamarin Forms solution with iOS and Android projects. The iOS side was working, I switched over and did a bunch of work on the Android side. Now I need to do some more iOS stuff (push notifications) and I can't get the iOS Simulator to kick in. Xcode is installed, VS says it can see the SDK. I can open the simulator from XC but inside VS no matter what Debug combination of the .iOS project I select all I get is "Generic Simulator". Any ideas?

See the answer in the comment provided by @lowleetak:

Is the minimum supported version in Info.plist less than or equal to the version of iOS Simulator that you have?

This was the issue. The project settings listed 10.2 as the target SDK but the info.plist file had 10.3 which wasn't installed on the machine via Xcode. The machine has Xcode 8.2.1 and iOS 10.2 installed.

Additionally there's now a bug opened about this behavior. If the two fields are going to allow different values there should at least be a warning next to them about the mismatch.
