On recent versions of Xcode, in iOS simulators the ability to enable the 'Zoom' feature in accessibility is disappearing. Is there any solution to this ?

I develop an application on iOS 13.0+ and we use a proprietary SDK for maps, so our situation is a bit more specific than usual. We have always had problems with the Zoom feature, and always appreciated the ability to simulate it in the Xcode simulators. I understand I cannot do anything against this, but is there any workaround or, at least somebody that knows the reason why they are removing it ? it is disappeared also if you select a simulator with a lower deployment target. Thanks for the attention.

Can you clarify “recent versions” and “lower deployment target”? On a 17.2 simulator (iPhone SE 3rd gen.) I still see this option under Settings → Developer → View. Note this isn’t the same Settings path as on a real device.
