Why iOS simulators removed from the IDX which were released in private release for Flutter. It was release good for the developer having no mac machines. There must be some limitations but still it will be helpful when creating the application’s UI for iOS devices.

Yes - we had to remove it to address some limitations. Unfortunately, I don’t have an ETA kn when we can bring it back.
