Error while building on iOS simulator - building for iOS Simulator-x86_64 but attempting to link with file built for iOS-arm64 Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64

I'm having an issue while building on a x64 macBook using "nodejs-mobile-react-native": "16.17.4" for an iPhone simulator (iOS target 15). I'm using node version v16.15.1 . So I can't run "nodejs-mobile-react-native" on an iOS simulator. I'm reporting the error below, thank you for your support.

As mentioned in https://github.com/nodejs-mobile/nodejs-mobile/blob/main/doc_mobile/CHANGELOG.md#2023-01-26-version-16170-current the iOS Simulator is not supported anymore.

This may change in the near future and we're going to create a new release.

Thank you for the quick response. Sorry I didn't notice, I saw in the main page "Universal binaries are included in the plugin, so you can run in both iOS simulators and devices." and I didn't go in detail on releases notes. I can't wait to see the new release. Thank you again
