Original Question:

Hi guys,

I recently install macOS Monterey using OpenCore, everything working well and my GPU was detected, my problem is my iOS Simulator (Xcode 13.4), it only shows black screen whenever I try to launch it both from Xcode -> Open Developer Tools -> Simulator or when running a project.

My last CoreSimulator.log
