Has anyone tried creating a widget with WidgetKit for macOS Big Sur?

I mean a widget for a Mac app.

WidgetKit simulator crashes when I try debugging my widget. Same happens when I try running a widget with a new project in Xcode (FB8126474).

This was apparently fixed in the latest Xcode beta (Xcode 12 beta 3)

I wish that was the case but that happened in Xcode 12 beta 3.

Yes, I've seen this too. No macOS widgets seem to launch in the simulator - tested using Xcode 12 beta 3 on macOS 11 beta 3 on multiple machines. Would love to know if anyone has workarounds.
