After the latest update today, I keep getting Spotlight crashes:

Code Block text
Process:               Spotlight [1045]
Path:                  /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/Applications/Spotlight.app/Spotlight

Appears to be related to the Simulator, which I have to use constantly during development. This is quickly getting annoying.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?

This is a Mac Mini 2018.

Definitely related to opening the Simulator. Happens every time immediately after it.

Already tried
Code Block shell
sudo mdutil -E /


Should I reinstall Xcode entirely?

Reinstalling Xcode did NOT work.

I think this started for me after installing Xcode from the developer portal. I was previously using Xcode from the App Store, but it was crashing when I tried to open the developer documentation; the fix for that was downloading Xcode from the dev portal.

I think this is worse and I may reinstall from the App Store.

I have the same.

Kernal_task bumps to 300% when the simulator opens and nothing seems to work properly.

This started happening for me after I updated to Xcode 12 (using Xamarin and Visual Studio for Mac) and the latest Xamarin and After I changed the application icon via Assets.xcassets. I do see this in my screen dump farther down:

11 dyld_sim 0x00000001071ea14c ImageLoader::recursiveLoadLibraries(ImageLoader::LinkContext const&, bool, ImageLoader::RPathChain const&, char const*) + 346

I wonder if it has something to do with the spotlight icon for my app?

Edit: I just went to spotlight on the simulator - I see blank icons for my app (underneath the spotlight entry box). I clicked on one of them and my app opened. Then I closed all the running apps and went to spotlight again and I now see my apps icon. I then started my app in the debugger again and so far (about 10 minutes) no spotlight error.
