Current behavior:

first screenshot is the output from ionic cordova build ios run from cli and the second one is the build output from xcode, same error is present in my project and in the cordova-plugin-firebasex-test project

Steps to reproduce: I cloned the example project, run npm i, cordova platform add ios and cordova run ios and ended up with the bellow error ( screens )

I have a fresh XCode install and I have only one simulator, for IOS 18.1, should I get an older one? ( I'm a bit out of space for doing that :) )
