Am trying to add 11.x ios simulator in XCode 11.3. Gets through the download step, then just hangs on the install step, no progress made. After some googling, found out that the downloads go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads directory, and I do see two images in there (plus some other file):


-rw-r--r--@ 1.9G Jan 7 11:18 com.apple.pkg.iPhoneSimulatorSDK11_0-11.0.1.1508875951.dmg

-rw-r--r--@ 2.0G Jan 7 13:27 com.apple.pkg.iPhoneSimulatorSDK11_4-11.4.1.1527703358.dmg

-rw-r--r-- 60K Jan 7 13:40 245b1dfeeb10ec6e5367d977f7d25489f9996b13.dvtdownloadableindex


But unable to do the install. Progress bar just stuck. Have restarted XCode (have to force quit due to sumulator install in progress) and rebooted laptop, no luck. Any advice?

Don't suppose you ever found an answer, currently having this issue on my new 14" M1 Max

It's not actually hanging, it just takes a really long time. Keep your eye on the Finder status bar to see your hard drive slowly filling.
