Safely Unmounting Unresponsive iOS Simulator Disk Images on macOS
Issue Description
After use in Xcode, the iOS simulator on macOS occasionally leaves behind mounted disk images that become unresponsive and cannot be unmounted through standard methods. This can lead to cluttered disk space and potential conflicts with future simulator sessions.
- Screenshots of the issue:

In the example above, it was observed that certain simulator disk images, such as disk5s1 and disk7s1, remained mounted but unresponsive. When attempting to unmount these volumes using Disk Utility, it always prompted saying the volume was in use, even after quitting Xcode and all related processes (the CoreSimulator related processes always reappeared after being killed).
