I am unable to inspect any elements using the Accessibility Inspector on iOS 13.2 and higher simulators running on Mac OS Mojave or Catalina. Has anyone else also encountered this issue and if so, is there a solution to this? I did not encounter this issue on iOS 12 Simulators, though.

Yes, everyone else has encountered this issue (I provided some links, in comments, showing people complaining about the problem), and no, there is no known standard solution.

@Badrinath Not as far as I know. Accessibility is hosed. Did you try the 11.4 beta? – matt Feb 22 '20 at 03:43

I was encountering a persistent crash when launching the Accessibility Inspector via Spotlight/Alfred. However, if I launch the tool from within Xcode it launches fine and allows me to interact with the Simulator.
From the menu bar:
Xcode
-> Open Developer Tool
-> Accessibility Inspector

This issue has been resolved for good with Xcode 11.4.1
Please upgrade to that version if you are still facing accessibility inspector issues.

Just to add that it fails with Xcode 11.5 in iOS 12 simulators and tested in macOS 10.15.5 and 10.15.6. – CoderPug Jul 29 '20 at 16:31

This issue should be resolved with macOS 10.15.2 when using a simulator running iOS 13.3 or higher.
Below that version, the solution is to use a simulator running iOS 12.x
