Hello,

I have tried to install LG Simulator 22(1.3), and LG Simulator 23(1.3) and when I try to run the App using VS Code Extension (as recommended by LG), the VS Code shows this message: (successfully installed app on the simulator), but the Simulator does not open/ launch, and if I open the simulator manually, it just shows the remote control and a blank screen with bird logo only.

See the screenshot  
I am using mac OS: (13.0.1) 22A400

Any suggestion to solve this issue?  
Thanks

There are three ways of launching an app. Can you run the simulator and check if it works using Launch App menu or App button on RCU as described [here](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/simulator-dev-guide#using-launch-app-on-themenu-or-app-button-on-rcu)? Thank you.
