Currently, when launching a debugging session from VSCode on Mac (M1, Ventura),
The simulator will appear behind VSCode. This is not ideal since I have to click the simulator icon to bring it in front after every code change. That's because the simulator is started on every run of the debugger and the Simulator does not remember the window position from a previous run.
The debugger output hints that this could be fixed in the code for the simulator:
