Safari on iOS Simulator 16.2 is unable to load the AVIF resources

Safari iOS 16 started to support the new AVIF image format according to this blog post https://webkit.org/blog/13152/webkit-features-in-safari-16-0/

I tested it with the url https://avif-support-test.glitch.me/ It works well on my iPhone, macOS Ventura but not iOS Simulator 16.2.

It tried to fetch the image resource but got an error "An error occurred trying to load the resource"

i am having exactly the same issue. works fine on my actual iOS device, but not in simulator. affects both iOS and iPadOS running 16.2.
