Xcode 14’s New Simulators Platforms Packaging Format

macops.ca:

From now on, simulator runtimes will be downloaded as a single DMG. A new daemon executable located at /Library/Developer/PrivateFrameworks/CoreSimulator.framework/Resources/bin/simdiskimaged is responsible for managing a simple database at /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Images, and then for keeping them mounted at special hidden mountpoints at /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes.
