Cannot install iOS 13 support using Xcode 14

I need to test app on iOS 13, so I wanted to install support for iOS 13. However going to

Xcode -> Settings -> Platforms -> + -> iOS

I can see only iOS 16, 15 and 14. I have macOS Ventura and Xcode 13 refuses to install. Is there an option to use simulator with iOS 13 for me, or I'm out of luck?

Using iOS 12 Simulator on Mac Studio M2 Hello Apple Community, I'm currently using Mac Studio M2 with Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71) installed, and I'm working on app development for iOS 12 and later using Xcode 15.2. I have a specific question regarding the use of iOS 12 simulator. Could someone kindly guide me on how to utilize the iOS 12 simulator for testing my applications? I appreciate any assistance or insights you can provide. Thank you in advance!

Xcode 15.2 requiring iOS 17.2 but won't install it on an Intel based iMac I have an existing app developed on an Intel based iMac. When Xcode updated itself to the last compatible version according to the App Store (15.2?), I can no longer render the storyboard or build the app. It says it need iOS 17.2 with a GET button. Selecting the GET button does nothing because the installer won't install iOS 17.2 to an Intel based iMac. I uninstalled 15.2 and went to the developer site and downloaded 15.1 to no avail. I received the same behavior. I dropped my target deployment back to iOS 16.0 but it still had no impact. I need to get back to a stable environment. I know others must have encountered this. Has anyone found a solution (possibly downloading an even earlier version of Xcode???)?

iOS 13 is no longer supported and or distributed by apple.

If you want to test it for developer reasons, you might get better answers on the developer forums Apple Developer Forums
