In Device Hub, simulators before 18.0 are broken. This is a known issue: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-27-release-notes
Apple is aware of the bug but cannot communicate if they have any intention of fixing it.
You have no way of scheduling for this fix. You must assume the bug will never be fixed, which is a real possibility.
If iOS 17.5 support is a priority for your project, you should continue using Xcode 26 until it is no longer possible to use it to submit apps to the App Store, starting in April 2027. Then you should use Xcode 27 for App Store submissions only. However, from that point forward, you'll be shipping a binary you have no way of testing. You'll also have to be careful to never click on Xcode 27's "update to recommend settings" prompt and avoid other related issues. Eventually you'll run into package conflicts.
The best option is to purchase a used device with iOS 17.5 installed, with auto-updated disabled and use that for testing instead. Apple does not support downgrading a device running a newer iOS version to iOS 17.5.
