- Run `killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService`.
- Run `xcrun simctl list devices`.

In some cases, Xcode may have generated simulator devices that can also cause the remote iOS Simulator for Windows to be unable to read its properties correctly as it attempts to verify which ones can be deployed to, causing a boot loop.

You can work around this by removing and creating new simulators which you can deploy to:

- Ensure that Xamarin Mac Agent (XMA) and Xcode aren't running.
- Run `xcrun simctl list | grep -w "Shutdown" | grep -o "([-A-Z0-9]*)" | sed 's/[\(\)]//g' | xargs -I uuid xcrun simctl delete uuid`
- Run `xcrun simctl list devices`. You should see no devices listed.
- Open Xcode on your connected Mac
- Open **Windows > Devices & Simulators**
- Select **Simulators**
- Create a new simulator you wish to deploy to.
