iOS Simulator no longer shows up in "flutter devices"

I'm not sure what's changed, but today my iOS simulator doesn't show up in flutter devices (and therefore also doesn't show for selection in the IDE). I've tried restarting

$ flutter devices
3 connected devices:

macOS           • macOS           • darwin-x64     • Mac OS X 10.14.6 18G103
Chrome          • chrome          • web-javascript • Google Chrome 77.0.3865.120
Headless Server • headless-server • web-javascript • Flutter Tools

$ flutter emulators --launch ios

$ flutter devices
3 connected devices:

macOS           • macOS           • darwin-x64     • Mac OS X 10.14.6 18G103
Chrome          • chrome          • web-javascript • Google Chrome 77.0.3865.120

$ flutter --version

I should've run flutter doctor 🙄 The minimum version of Xcode was recently updated (#42254) and flutter doctor checks for this. I thought my Mac would automatically check for updates and tell me when there are some, but apparently not :-)

I had the same issue, thanks for posting how to fix it.

Hi I meet with the same issue and fixed by command flutter doctor command.

Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS
    ✗ Xcode installation is incomplete; a full installation is necessary for iOS
      development.
      Download at: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/
      Or install Xcode via the App Store.
      Once installed, run:
        **sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
        sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch**

so I run that two suggested command:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

then the issue was fixed.
