iOS simulator does not display anything

This is quite a problem; it definitely looks like the simulator is corrupted. First, try a different simulator. You're using "iPhone 8 Plus - iOS 11.0" currently. Try a different one. They're all separate images. If that's the problem, you can delete that simulator and reinstall it. In Xcode:

• Window>Devices & Simulators

• Simulators

• Delete by right-clicking and selecting Delete. Install by pressing + at the bottom left.

If that doesn't address it, I would reinstall Xcode. This has to be corruption in either the simulator itself or one of the simulator images.
