Xcode UI Test: simulator not visible while test running

Question

I'm running into an issue when running UITests in Xcode the simulator is launched but not visible, the tests still run fine, but I can't see what's happening.

I believe the test is running because I can see all the output, and if I make something wrong on purpose, the debug output correctly shows it as well. If I run the main target, or unit test target, the simulator is visible, the problem is only with UI tests.

I tried to clean the project, remove derived data, and even restarted the machine but no help.
