Flutter won't run until iOS 17 simulator is installed with Xcode 15 #129558

Description

@vashworth

If you upgrade to Xcode 15 and you haven’t downloaded iOS 17 simulator, you can’t run an app even if you have older and compatible simulators available or a physical device

You get the following error:

xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
               		{ id:B1234A5C-67B8-901D-B2CB-FE34F56BDE78 }

               	Ineligible destinations for the "Runner" scheme:
               		{ platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device, error:iOS 17.0 is not installed. To use with Xcode, first download and install the platform }

Latest iOS simulator is no longer included in Xcode download as of Xcode 15. You have to download the iOS 17 simulator separately. On Xcode launch, it should prompt you to install it. However, Flutter setup guide does not tell you to open Xcode.
