Running iOS version below 13 on Xcode simulator

I recently updated my OS to Ventura and updated the Xcode to 14.2. I want to debug some issues in iOS 12.5.5 and when I checked my Xcode there is no option to run the iOS simulator below 13. Is there any way to run the iOS simulator in Xcode 14.2?

Xcode keeps deleting it's own 17.0 runtimes I'm running some selenium grid tests on two mac minis over Github Actions, the problem that keeps happening is that the iOS 17.0 runtime keeps getting deleted for no reason, so all the simulators just disappear! When I try to re-install it will installl "iOS 17.0 simulator" and won't let me install the "iOS 17" runtime. Xcode 15.0 Ventura: 13.6.1 (22G313)

XCode 14 tvOS simulator standalone download I've tried to download tvOS simulator via Xcode but it fails midway of download. So I downloaded the dmg file from developer portal with download manager. The downloaded image file was a file named 'tvOS 16.1.simruntime' in deep in a directory structure as below Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/tvOS 16.1.simruntime I don't know what to do with the file. Tried to copy the Profiles directory into ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator and started Xcode, but still got the 'tvOS Simulator not installed' and cannot run the tvOS app in simulator. Any idea what should I do with the downloaded file?
