How to call static block from Category Layout Update XML Magento 2?
If you are using luma theme or any other, select the theme and save by below layout update. I used contact-us-info
block for reference you can replace by your block id.
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Magento\Store\Block\Switcher" name="store_switcher" as="store_switcher" after="footer_links" template="switch/stores.phtml"/>
<block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="test">
<arguments>
<argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">contact-us-info</argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceContainer>
Have added reference screen-shoot below.
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="search-block" after="category.products">
<arguments>
<argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">search-block</argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceContainer>
argument name needs to be block_id
where static block id is search-block
