Here is problem that you are using (or better say ionic) still old version of ios-sim npm package. As apple changed simulators in iOS 11 (and platform).

Solution is to use latest ios-sim (this is valid for 22.09.2017, next week should be release a official version). So this would be mean just update ios-sim package.

Today, you need to use "latest" version.

Like:

cd platforms/ios/cordova && npm install ios-sim@latest

Here is also open issue: https://github.com/phonegap/ios-sim/issues/218

Other option is to upgrade the whole ios platform to a proper version (for iOS 11 you need at least 4.5.0):

cordova platform add [email protected]

(Be careful to remove platform first!)
