Research direction
Start by reviewing the Appium log and reproducing /usr/bin/xcrun simctl list devices -j on macOS Big Sur with Apple M1, Xcode 12.4, and Appium 1.20.1. Trace how the wrapper retrieves and parses the simulator list, then verify that session creation can use the available devices successfully.
