Flutter vscode does not automatically choose correct simulator

I am having some issues related to flutter detecting the ios simulator I am using.I think I may have deleted a file that I should not have?

When I run flutter run Vscode is not detecting the correct simulator that I have running instead I'm getting this output

(base) juliapak@julias-MacBook-Air coffeesociety % flutter run

This is what my VScode looks like:

As you can see I have the ios simulator selected. Here is the output of flutter doctor -v

Solution

When multiple devices are listed, it will ask to select one device when using flutter run command.

To run all connected devices:

flutter run -d all

To run the specific device

flutter run -d DEVICE_ID

For Example in your case, DEVICE_ID is 63D54239-A58D-4E24-8D89-901EA6209734

flutter run -d 63D54239-A58D-4E24-8D89-901EA6209734
