Simeon Peter was dead by the time the Apocalypse was written. Do you mean some other Simeon? Perhaps you're thinking of Simeon the son of Cleophas who was bishop from around 63 AD until the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and then lived at Pella.

Yes.. that Simeon, son of Cleophas

James the brother of Jesus was elected Nasi, or president of the Supreme Council, both on account of his kinship to the Messiah and his noted piety." (Schonfield, Hugh (1938). The History of Jewish Christianity From the First to the Twentieth Century. Book out of print, pp. 14-15.)

"After the martyrdom of James and the capture of Jerusalem which instantly followed, there is a firm tradition that those of the apostles and disciples of the Lord who were still alive assembled from all parts together with those who, humanly speaking, were kinsmen of the Lord--for most of them were still living and they all took counsel together concerning whom they should judge worthy to succeed James and to the unanimous tested approval it was decided that Symeon son of the Clopas, mentioned in the gospel narrative, was worthy to occupy the throne [i.e., the position of Bishop] of the Jerusalem see. He was, so it is said, a cousin of the savior, for Hegesippus relates that Clopas was the brother of Joseph" (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History. 3.11.1)

There were twelve disciples who got together and chose James.

No, it was just the three who led the apostolic band, saints Peter, James the greater, and John.

Peter, John James.
